Yes.  Try "renice +20 -u user".  This changes for all processes for the
specified user.  Also, since my machine is sometimes used for compilations
accross the network, I sometime "renice +20 <pid of inetd>".  This causes
"rsh" commands to run at the lower priority.  However, "rlogin" resets
its priority back to 0 when someone logs in over the network, so this
wont work for lowering priority of remote logins.
