Is there a way to set something to limit the number of open processes a
user can have so they can't do fork bombs.  I don't have to worry about it
right now because I trust every one on my server but if I ever am in
charge of a server I would really like to know.

Fork bomb def:
Someone opening up some many process that nothing even the kernel can't
open up another process.  If you ever do it you have to shut off your
computer even the ctr-alt-delete won't work.

The only place I have looked so far is /etc/sercurity/limit.conf and I
wasn't able to do it from there (or i did it wrong ).
