    hi,
    any ideas, how do i prevent a specific user to be able to use cron, he sends a lots of mail using a php script to his users who haven't logged into his matrimony site.

    Also is there any way to prevent his mysql scripts cause high memory loads ?

    Thanx in advance.

    You can remove crontab and mysql from the feature list assigned to this account.

    Go on, have a guess
    Blocking crontab use depends on your OS as different ones use different cron daemons. On most Linux distributions vixie cron is used and you can use /etc/cron.deny and /etc/cron.allow files (man crontab for details).
