Actually, friend of mine tried to prove FreeBSD inability to stand against fork-bombs. I allowed him to run the fork-bomb as a root written by canjuman4life... result - he was disappointed. Even ran as a root, I cleaned offending processes later with not much slowed down machine.
So, the nice variables available at login.conf are very good to start tightening malicious user activities.
