Summary: LShell 1.0 now available
Keywords: Utility Security Quota

	LShell 1.0 is a program to easily and securely set and maintain
resource limits. This allows you to protect against rogue users (or
careless users) who consume all your process table slots, virtual memory,
file descriptors, or CPU time. 

	LShell takes the place of the user's login shell, looks up the 
limits in a configuration file and then forks the user's login shell. It 
is available at ftp.epinet.com in /pub/linux/sources/bin and is about 
4.6Kbytes.

	Here is the LSM:
