Hello, I am new. Does anyone know how to limit the amount of cpu time slice usage so that this possible new exploit does not fill up all the space of a apache server? Like setting a timer of .0005 nanoseconds that will stop a virus from filling up space? For instance, I'll be more specific. Take for instance the following C code that will fill up all available disk space && bring to a halt a University running Solaris(tried) in the 90's. forgive my syntax, it's been ten years since I've written any code. main() { for(;;) malloc(1000); { fork(); } } return() Well that was easily plugged by the administrator. Could such a thing happen in a apache based web server where you issue a rule set || someone email me and teach me how to stop such malicous code? Thank You This is very important Greg The Fatman walks alone. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
