Hi everyone,
We just had an accident with one of our servers. There was one user which used all RAM of the server. The server became unresponsive and we had to do a reboot. It wasn't that hard to find the user who used all of the RAM as we use mod_ruid2. Now, we are investigating how this could happen and how we can prevent users from using all RAM. I was wondering how you guys are dealing with this and how you prevent a server from getting out of RAM.
