i installed Samba on my Fedora, have created couple of Share directories and assigned users accordingly, that part is apsolutly fine and working without any problem, but now the next step is i want to assign the quota limits to users to save the disk space,
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set up quota limit in samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 in CentOS 5.5, by means of the module vfs objects. In the samba howto [1] I found a very brief explanation, but it isn't working for me. The basic idea is to setup a user called 'quota2g' (uid 499) and setup the [homes] share, as it comes by default, to enforce the quota on each user share.quota2g:x:499:499:User quota 2GB:/home/quota2g:/bin/bash

Is there a way that I can set a quota for all new users that get created? I want to limit the hard drive space they get. I don't want to have to keep setting each new users quota either.
I am running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64Bit
I want to implement quota per group users like this: Assume i have a Student group in my system, that student1 and student2 and student3 are three users in this group. i want to set quota 100GB per each user in this group, 100GB for student1, 100GB for student2 and .... The problem is when i set quota per group i cant say each user in that group have 100GB quota limit, also when i set quota per user, i should set one by one for each user.I want to know, is there anyway for set quota for all users in specific group?

(i dont understand much of these type of quota)
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn our organization there are around 1000+ users are using mails. The mailing system is implemented under RHEL using postfix and dovecot. For user based quotas i have implemented Disk Quota. But the problem when i want to edit quota for multiple users with similar limits i'm doing "edquota user" for every users. It seems very difficult. Now I wanna know:
1. Is there any way to edit quota value for multiple users at a single shot?
2. Also there is any method to send alerts mail to the end users on disk utilization?
I have my home server setup, running 10.04 x64. The OS is installed on a 300GB WD Blue drive, and I have a RAID5 array md0, consisting of 4x 2TB WD Green drives, mounted as /home. I am sharing the home directories using samba and using them to back-up the other computers in the house. I have created a user account+password for each computer, giving it its own "/home/computername_backup/" directory to store it's backups in.
Computers being backed-up:(750GB) Gaming PC running Win7 Ultimate x64
(30GB + 2TB) HTPC running Win7 Home Premium x64
(32GB) Netbook running Win7 Home Premium x32
(250GB) 2 Macbook Pros Running OS X 10.6.4 (tweaked to allow time machine to recognize the samba share as a time machine volume
Question: 5.37TB of /home seems good for now, and I haven't run into any problems so far, but I don't want to have to keep checking. I'd like to put a size cap on each user's home, to prevent one of the computers from gobbling up all the space. Is there an easy (or hard) way to configure this type of thing? My Macbook, for example, only has a 250GB HD. I could give it 3-400GB of space for its home and that would be plenty - whenever it filled its /home/, it would start erasing the oldest backups. If there is no size limit, I believe it will just continue to grow until all the free space is gone.
Considerations: Right now, the HTPC is storing all its media locally (on the installed 2TB drive). However, I've already used 3/4 of the space and the HPTC enclosure can only hold one drive. My plan moving forward is to have /home be used to store media files (iTunes music for all computers and tv/movies for the HTPC), which is another reason I'd like to ensure that the backups don't take up all the space.
I realize I could create a partition for each computer, but I'd prefer not to go down this route. This would seem an untenable tactic if I added another computer next month, or if I realized that the partition was too small.
Is there a way I can set a storage quota for samba shares, so that way a user can only store up to 2gb of data in a certain share?

I work as an system administrator for AIX and Linux servers. We have an FTP server running in Linux which has shared folders to Windows domain using Samba. The new requirement is to map users created to Linux machine to Windows users in such a way that, when a user logins into Windows machine with an ID say "X123" in domain "TEST", his access control to the samba shares should reflect based on the same user ID created in Linux machine.(FYI. Both the Windows and LINUX machines are in same network and domain). Please let me know the step by step procedure to configure Linux machine (smb.conf entries or any new file to be created for user mapping) to identify Windows user Login and provide access restrictions accordingly.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHave recently setup Samba on a fresh install of Fedora 14 so that I can use it as a workstation in a Windows 2003 (win2k3) domain.
The install of Samba seems to have worked as I can connect to the Domain using ADS and kerberos. selinux and firewall have been disabled until I have it working 100%
The problem lies when i try to login to Gnome or TTY. It begins to create the home directory for the domain user logging in but after a certain process Fedora logs the user out of the system.
Have looked through several log files (/var/log/messages, log.winbindd, log.winbindd-dc-connect) but am unable to debug it any further.
Have posted the config files below which shows the Fedora machine is successfully connected to the domain as it lists its groups, users and validates logon credentials - it just won't logon!
Where i can go about debugging. Also if you need additional configs.
I successfully configured a VPN using IPSec(Openswan) and xl2ptd. While roughly following this guide (among countless others): [URL]
The VPN-Connection works fine, connecting to it is also a swirl, I can reach all that I want in the network, and also the gateway to the Internet works - everything being routed through that VPN.
Now my problem is actually the next steps, and I didn't succeed finding the right result on any possible search:
a) I want to limit, that the VPN-Connection is only used for distinct connections to hosts, that aren't in a "company subnet", but the IP's are publicly available. (Example: The Target-IP 8.8.8.8 allows per iptables, that only my VPN-Host 1.2.3.4 accesses it via SSH, and thus I only can access that Target-IP via SSH when I'm on the VPN). When actually browsing to the ubuntu-website, I want, that NOT the VPN-Connection is used but rather my normal connection (as a reference: i'm on a Windows-Client - not my choice, btw.)
b) I want to have several such "limitations" grouped, and give users 'access-rights' to certain hosts (Examples: Admin gets access to all on all ports Testers get access to some machines on distinct ports CEO gets access only to the mailserver via POP3 or IMAP
My Fedora box is giving me an SELinux security error:
Code: Summary:
SELinux is preventing the samba daemon from reading users' home directories.
Detailed Description:
SELinux has denied the samba daemon access to users' home directories. Someone
is attempting to access your home directories via your samba daemon. If you only
setup samba to share non-home directories, this probably signals an intrusion
attempt. For more information on SELinux integration with samba, look at the
samba_selinux man page. (man samba_selinux)
Allowing Access: If you want samba to share home directories you need to turn on the
samba_enable_home_dirs boolean: "setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1"
Fix Command:
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1
Additional Information:
Source Context system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0
Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0
Target Objects /home/micah [ dir ]

I know how to limit a print job size form cups, and how to require x amount of free space before accepting a job. I've even dug up how to require x amount of free space for samba to accept a print job, but I can't see how to limit samba to only certain sized jobs.
Someone tried to print a >1G file to my print-server this morning, causing me to have a less relaxed Monday than I had hoped. Because it ran out of space before spooling, it was never limited by cups. Because I had to get rid of it ASAP so people could get work done, I have no idea who's it was, or where it came from. Scouring logs didn't give me any good leads either.
