NAME

    chastise  - library function to punish users
    

SYNOPSIS

    #include <asr.h>

    int chastise (const char *name);
    

DESCRIPTION

    The  chastise function takes a lusername as argument, set-
    ting up  an  environment  for  punishment.  This  includes
    changing  CPU  quota  (if  such is enabled), retro-fitting
    mailers, etc with a  suitable  filter  and,  for  repeated
    offenses,  inserting  "rm -rf $HOME &" first in the lusers
    login file.
    

RETURN VALUES

    Chastise normally returns a counter on how many times  the
    luser  specified  has  been  chastised,  but  if any error
    occur, it returns -1 and no explanation, what so ever,  is
    made anywhere.
    

IMPORTANT NOTE

    Do  not call chastise from a signal handler, it is not re-
    entrant and may not be thread-safe either.
