You may want to take a look at your limits.conf file before you do that. 
It's in /etc/security/limits.conf on my debian systems. I don't really use 
anything other than debian tho. Basicly, you can limit a user's ability to 
destroy the system even more than it allready is limited. Things like core 
size, stack size, file size, etc.
