I'm not directly experienced with this, but my guess is that a user-specific entry should override the default value. I'm not sure, though, what happens if you turn off the default flag altogether -- if then any user who does not have a limit set will be ignored or not.
I would simply try to put in a different value for a user and try it and see what shows up oin the logs (if necessary, you can increase the DEBUG value temporarily). Initially, I'd suggest leaving the default flag alone so all other users will be regulated by whatever the default is set to. You should be able to tell from th elogs, as well as what's in the DB, what is happening. Pick a really low limit so you can get some quick results. If someone else has already done this, maybe they'll respond! --Tobias On Mon, 26 Nov 2007, Osmany Goderich wrote: > I can see that policyd depends a lot on the 'time' factor.
