If this memory is limited. my users cannot use wine. You're not alone. Other people also use ulimit similarly (though not with wine), e.g. http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/How_to_limit_per-process_physical_memory_consumption_on_WNs It's a shame that ulimit doesn't offer a limit on physical memory, which is what you really want, I bet. But fear not, the kernel developers are on it! See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/25/124 http://community.livejournal.com/openvz/21817.html http://lwn.net/Articles/246320/ https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/singh-Reprint.pdf That's the direction I would go if I were you. I don't know if this feature is in mainline distributions yet, it's so new. Maybe Hardy. What version of Linux are you on, and do you have control over the kernel? - Dan
