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.
