Ê
Create a directory for this user:
cd /home
mkdir user1
chown user1 user1
chgrp DOS---- user1
chmod 775 user1
Ê
Share the directory:
net share user1=c:/home/user1
Ê
Assign rights for the user “user1”:
net perms c:/home/user1 /grant user1:fullcontrol
Ê
Now configure “quotas” under UNIX for the
/home
directory:
Ê
In the
/home
directory, create a blank file called “quotas”:
> quotas
–
Set the limits for the UNIX user “user1”:
edquota user1
–
A temporary file with the following contents is opened using the
vi
editor.
fs /home blocks (soft = 0, hard = 0) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0)
–
Enter the limits, for example:
fs /home blocks (soft = 11000, hard = 15000) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0)
–
Exit the editor and save the file.
Ê
Enable “quotas” support for the directory. In the
/etc/vfstab
file, change the line for
/home
for example:
/dev/ios0/sdisk000s5 /dev/ios0/rsdisk000s5 /home ufs 0
yes
rw to
:
/dev/ios0/sdisk000s5 /dev/ios0/rsdisk000s5 /home ufs 0
yes
rq
Ê
Activate the change:
quotaon -a
Ê
The disk space restriction has now been configured successfully, and can be checked
with the
quota -v user1
command. Users can view their own disk space under UNIX
with the
quota -v
command.
