From 7a7043c787b61d6bf02733a04ade1947fc4ded2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Attilio Rao Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:12:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid sshd, cron, syslogd and inetd to be killed under high-pressure swap environments. Please note that this can't be done while such processes run in jails. Note: in future it would be interesting to find a way to do that selectively for any desired proccess (choosen by user himself), probabilly via a ptrace interface or whatever.
