Hi John,

hope you are having a good time up in the Bay. Let me know if there is
any news about the future of apparmor and cgroups.

So just to be clear: the current implementation of AppArmor (that
ships with ubuntu 12.04) the NPROC will limit the number of concurrent
processes per UID, is that correct? Hence if I make create a dedicated
user for my service and set an nproc in the service profile, it will
enforce a global limit on the number of procs that this service can
have at any given time?

Thank you,

Jeroen
