hmm quota seems to stop that just fine here:
[eb@socrates eb]$ cd /var/lock/
[eb@socrates lock]$ df /var
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8 1032088 298940 680720 31% /var
[eb@socrates lock]$ cat /dev/zero > bloat
/var: warning, user disk quota exceeded
/var: write failed, user disk limit reached.
cat: write error: Disk quota exceeded
[eb@socrates lock]$ df /var
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8 1032088 314260 665400 32% /var
[eb@socrates lock]$
now what quota (nor moving /var/run/screen) will NOT fix is stuffing
/var via /usr/bin/logger (that is just a bit more work then the above)
