What what I understand, bw quotas on a per-user basis are not possible. You could limit each connection to 1M/s and vary that based on the user that owns the connection using iptables and connection tracking (may not work on SMP systems). Check out the "Advanced Linux Routing HOW-TO" on tldp.org. It's still a work in progress, but I learned all my few bw throttling abilities through it. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
