Hi,

In this handbook 
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/security-resourcelimits.html page I 
read

> By default, kernel support for rctl is not built-in, meaning that the 
> kernel will
> first need to be recompiled using the instructions [..]. Add these 
> lines to either
> GENERIC or a custom kernel configuration file, then rebuild the kernel:
> options         RACCT
> options         RCTL

I downloaded the sources of 10.2-RELEASE and I found that thoses options 
are already in the GENERIC config file.

The handbook should be updated because it seems built-in now. To 
activate it kern.racct.enable=1 in /boot/loader.conf is neeeded.

Kind regards
