How can I login to a box as root even when memory is low?
Issue
- One user process could take so much memory that a login was not possible any more on the root console.
- RHEL should employ a mechanism to set aside memory and/or processing power for a root login in the event of a runaway process.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
