I don't quite remember the name of a kernel patch that has some things in it that will allow you to tighten down your system far better than the normal kernel when it comes to limiting users. First off, you shouldn't allow users to run server type processes unless you have too. You should run them, then grant the user access to read log files from the processes and such. This is so that you know all services / processes that are running on your machine.

Subject: making secure limitations for non-root users Hello, I've got a quick couple of questions: First, I'd like to allow users to connect and host a mud on my system. I would, however like to limit them in disk space (I can figure that one out), in port usage (not sure how to do this one, would like to limit what ports they can open), programs they can run, and also what they can view on the system. Any ideas?
