For ulimit, you will have to check the information of bash. Since ulimit is a bash-thing. (man bash+/+ulimit). ulimit is for the processes forked by bash only I think, while PAM is system wide. So if you have a lot users with all different "limits"; I think ulimit is the best choice, else use PAM. But I guess other people on this list have better suggestions about this one. I am not sure about this one; but I think that if the user changes his shell, that the ulimit (which you set at one of the startup scripts) will not be set. So you must also make it impossible for that user to change his shell (chmod -s /usr/bin/chsh). > I wonder if Windows has anything like ulimit?
