Limiting resource usage of apache spawned user > processes via apache config options? Not when you are running scripting engines in the same process as the web server. Here are some notes on the general issue of privelege separation. Resource limitting is a different, but quite related issue with similar solutions. http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PrivilegeSeparation In general, if you need resource limitting you should get the scripting engines out of the web server process, either by using cgi/fast-cgi, or by running multiple web server instances.
