mod_measure_process: Report the enforced limit The soft limit is what the kernel actually enforces, while the hard limit is is how far you can change the soft limit without privileges. Unless the process dynamically adjusts the soft limit, knowing the hard limit is not as useful as knowing the soft limit. Reporting the soft limit and the number of in-use FDs allows placing alerts on expressions like 'process_open_fds / process_max_fds >= 0.95'

Introduction
============

Invites are an intermediate way between opening registrations completely and
closing registrations completely.

By letting users invite other users to the server, an administrator exposes
themselves again to the risk of abuse.

To combat that abuse more effectively, this module allows to store (outside
of the user’s information) who created an invite which was used to create the
user’s account.

Details
=======

Add to `modules_enabled`.

Caveats
=======

- The information is not deleted even when the associated user accounts are
  deleted.
- Currently, there is no way to make any use of that information.
