I need to put some quota on disk space usage and no. off processes for a user

I have a server and I want to give remote access to some users, but first I need to be sure that they would not fill out my processes queue whit useless processes. So I wanna put a 3 simultaneos processes limit / user, and give them only 100 or 200 MB disk space. At the limit quota problem I think that is better to let a user to run only 1 or 2  background processs,  how do I ?

    I think it can't be that hard .. but I need at least some clues.

                             Thanks for help!

Hi ,

You can edit /etc/security/limits.conf file for all the things which you wanted. Its very easy to do let me know if you face any problem.
