+pam_setquota — PAM module to set or modify disk quotas on session start
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+pam_setquota is a PAM module to set or modify a disk quota at session start
+
+This makes quotas usable with central user databases, such as MySQL or LDAP.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+fs=/home
+
+ The device file or mountpoint the policy applies to. Defaults to the
+ filesystem containing the users home directory.
+
+overwrite=0
+
+ Overwrite an existing quota. Note: Enabling this will remove the ability
+ for the admin to manually configure different quotas for users for a
+ filesystem with edquota(8). (Defaults to 0)
+
+debug=0
+
+ Enable debugging. A value of 1 outputs the old and new quota on a device. A
+ value of 2 also prints out the matched and found filesystems should fs be
+ unset. (Defaults to 0)
+
+startuid=1000
+
+ Describe the start of the UID range the policy is applied to. (Defaults to
+ UID_MIN from login.defs or the uidmin value defined at compile-time if
+ UID_MIN is undefined.)
+
+enduid=0
+
+ Describe the end of the UID range the policy is applied to. Setting enduid=
+ 0 results in an open-ended UID range (i.e. all uids greater than startuid
+ are included). (Defaults to 0)
+
+bsoftlimit=19000
+
+ Soft limit for disk quota blocks, as defined by quotactl(2). Note:
+ bsoftlimit and bhardlimit must be set at the same time!
+
+bhardlimit=20000
+
+ Hard limit for disk quota blocks, as defined by quotactl(2). Note:
+ bsoftlimit and bhardlimit must be set at the same time!
+
+isoftlimit=3000
+
+ Soft limit for inodes, as defined by quotactl(2). Note: isoftlimit and
+ ihardlimit must be set at the same time!
+
+ihardlimit=4000
+
+ Hard limit for inodes, as defined by quotactl(2). Note: isoftlimit and
+ ihardlimit must be set at the same time!
+
+EXAMPLES
+
+A single invocation of `pam_setquota` applies a specific policy to a UID range.
+Applying different policies to specific UID ranges is done by invoking
+pam_setquota more than once. The last matching entry defines the resulting
+quota.
