This helped with the per/process vm usage, but I am still looking for a

Forgot to mention I am using Solaris 2.5.1 on x86, sorry

Hello all,

        Quick question does anyone know the setting that I can put on I
assume /etc/system to limit the amount of Virtual Mem a process can take?
I have been playing with Dynamic Mem allocation and am killing my swap,
and want the machine to limit me to let's say 30M's / process?
