or it's implemented with something like lshell which is called in place of your standard shell. lshell sets limits according to your configuration then launches the expected user shell.
resource limits don't exist only in the shell. the most commonly found implementation exists in your shell's binary. the 'not builtin' method simply sets the limits before your shell get's executed. you can do likewise at any point in such a chain.
but we digress. the problem has been solved. how 'bout we talk about why GRE tunneling is kinda broken ;)
i need to grab some tcpdumps and start poking at that bug.
