[CS-FSLUG] Limit on User Resource Usage

Well, after 120 days I had to reboot my GNU/Linux server thanks to a 
stupid cPanel upgrade that made exim go crazy.

But, in the process I've noticed something else... one of my users (one 
of mine, not one of my account holders actually) is taking up way to 
much of the processor's resources. Is there any way I can limit what 
that user can take at any point (i.e. never more than 50% of the CPU or 
never more than so many minutes of CPU time, etc.)? Is this possible 
without messing up a lot of other things?

It'd be nice if somehow I could have it "nice" that user as a whole so 
that it never gets priority on anything.
