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, setting 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.
