Hi, is there a way to (or, How do I) limit the space that a certain user can use? I'm trying to configure a webserver. Apache is configured, users can acces their accounts through proftp, their web-directory is in their home-directory. Now I want to limit the maximum size of the webdir or the home-dir to prevent that 1 user takes all the space and leaves nothing for the other users.
Is that difficult to do? Please, give me some info, or if its to complex, giev me an url so that I can figure it out myself.
