You will have to enable quotas on the filesystem (if the Filesystem accept it) in the /etc/fstab file and remount the filesystem. Then, you will edit the quotas with edquota and reboot the server (easiest way to take everything into account and to initialize the quotas). For the bandwith, it is not simple. I dont know a simple solution for your problem. Also I would like it so he cannot explore the filesystem and is limited to his $HOME directory only. What kind of acces will he have ? If he can ssh into the serveur, you can explore two solutions : - a limited shell interpreter (partial solution) - a jail (chroot) If not (lock his account with passwd -l user and give him a /bin/false shell), you can configure the FTP server to chroot him self.

limiting a user?
I wish to add a user account for my friend on my Apache2 webserver (running in Debian lenny/sid with 2.6.18 kernel). How can I limit how much disk space he can use and limit how much bandwidth? Also I would like it so he cannot explore the filesystem and is limited to his $HOME directory only. Zach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

limiting per user CPU time
Hi! Is there any way to do that? I've read ulimit(1), but that only applies to bash(1) and it's sons (and it can also be changed). Another option would be automatically nicing proceses that use more CPU time than their quota. TIA! -- p.
