    I am just wondering if any of you people have any ideas how to exempt a user or two from the fork/bomb settings? I tried editing the bashrc and the script in /usr/local/cpanel/ Didn't help at all.

    If anyone knows anything, it would be very, very helpful. Right now, I have it disabled, but I trust most of my users. :P

    Anyways, anything at all would be helpful, especially something from one of the developers telling me which files impose the limits... :D

    Go on, have a guess
    Just had a quick look. It appears that the fork/bomb protection for shell users is controlled by /etc/profile

    If you look at the top of the file, you should see (when enabled):
    Code:
    #cPanel Added Limit Protections -- BEGIN

#unlimit so we can run the whoami
ulimit -n 4096 -u 14335 -m unlimited -d unlimited -s 8192 -c 1000000 -v unlimited 2>/dev/null

LIMITUSER=$USER
if [ -e "/usr/bin/whoami" ]; then
        LIMITUSER=`/usr/bin/whoami`
fi
if [ "$LIMITUSER" != "root" ]; then
        ulimit -n 100 -u 20 -m 200000 -d 200000 -s 8192 -c 200000 -v 200000 2>/dev/null
else
        ulimit -n 4096 -u 14335 -m unlimited -d unlimited -s 8192 -c 1000000 -v unlimited 2>/dev/null
fi
#cPanel Added Limit Protections -- END
    I would have thought that with a little bash script modification you could exempt certain users.

    Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this yet?

    BTW, I did try and edit all of the bash scripts I could find. It did not help me with disabling it for one user at all.

    Why does MPM prefork faster than any other MPM?
