I'm afraid you are wrong. I've installed lshell (Pawel Jochym suggested it
to me) but it doesn't suit me. ulimit -a says that for example memory
usage is unlimited. Also Pawel suggested sollution with /etc/profile and
ulimit. My ulimit-line in /etc/profile looks now like:

ulimit -d 2097148 -c 0 -n 64 -s 8192 -u 64 -l 4096 -m 4096 -v 8192

and it is good enough for me.
