Hi!
Inspired by this article (http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12298) at
security focus, I was wondering what can be done to protect our gentoo
machine against forkbombs or similar problems.
What is the best way to protect our system against this?
Do you think this kind of problems are important when were talking about
our desktop box or only in big system with many users?
BTW, I tried a fork bomb on my gentoo desktop box. Couldn't even log in
as root to stop it. :\
