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. session required pam_setquota.so bsoftlimit=1000 bhardlimit=2000 isoftlimit=1000 ihardlimit=2000 startuid=1000 enduid=0 fs=/home session required pam_setquota.so bsoftlimit=19000 bhardlimit=20000 isoftlimit=3000 ihardlimit=4000 startuid=2001 enduid=3000 fs=/dev/sda1 session required pam_setquota.so bsoftlimit=19000 bhardlimit=20000 isoftlimit=3000 ihardlimit=4000 startuid=3001 enduid=4000 fs=/dev/sda1 overwrite=1 AUTHOR pam_setquota was originally written by Ruslan Savchenko .
