	Yeah, if one of my users wants to run 100 procs at once and
eat up all the resources, or make 100 meg files and eat up all the 
disc space, I actually have to re-make the kernel.  :-) 
	I think the idea is to figure out what you want the system
and the users to be able to do, then set up accordingly.  Dynamicly
setable options are for people who can't think ahead.

                                    how do you spell "dynamically", anyway?,
