I am an admin of a Debian woody Linux box for computer science majors.

The machine is running the 2.4.17 kernel with iptables and quotas.

Although I have spent a lot of time securing things,  I still fear that
fork bombs may kill the box.

Is there a way in the 2.4.17 kernel to prevent fork bombs from crashing
a system ?

I fear the students from the Operating Systems class.
