With user namespaces +enabled in a kernel for people who don't trust their users or their +users programs to play nice this problems becomes more acute. + +Therefore it is recommended that memory control groups be enabled in +kernels that enable user namespaces, and it is further recommended +that userspace configure memory control groups to limit how much +memory user's they don't trust to play nice can use. + +Memory control groups can be configured by installing the libcgroup +package present on most distros editing /etc/cgrules.conf, +/etc/cgconfig.conf and setting up libpam-cgroup. |
