NAME¶
chastise - library function to punish users
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <asr.h>
int chastise (const char *name);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
chastise function takes a lusername as argument, setting up an
environment for punishment. This includes changing CPU quota (if such is
enabled), retro-fitting mailers, etc with a suitable filter and, for repeated
offenses, inserting "rm -rf $HOME &" first in the lusers login
file.
RETURN VALUES¶
Chastise normally returns a counter on how many times the luser specified
has been
chastised, but if any error occur, it returns
-1 and no
explanation, what so ever, is made anywhere.
IMPORTANT NOTE¶
Do not call
chastise from a signal handler, it is
not re-entrant
and may not be thread-safe either.
