        To all,

        How do I get 'ctrlaltdel' trapping working on our G4/400 CS1.2
box? I would rather have the machine be 'softly restartable' locally,
without giving out the root password.

        Over the past few days, one of our customer's memory-intensive
Perl scripts caused the server to run out of memory, and caused VM to
start killing things.... How do I limitate memory usage by users,
researve a part of memory for daemons/emergency access/etc, and limit the
number of simultaneous scripts a user is allowed to run (from
Apache). The ulimit processes and memory options don't seem to work...

        Thanks all.
