Along these lines, I vaguely remember a very clever linux utility that
allowed one to run any program within a sandbox of sorts: one could
specify maximum cpu time allowed, maximum disk *mumble*s per second,
maximum network bandwidth use, etc etc. It worked on a per-process
basis (and, I assume, child processes). ISTR it had a two letter name,
and probably required a kernel addin. Does anybody know what I'm talking
about, or am I imagining things again?

Thanks,
Wesley.
