| Ahmuck | is there a way to provide "quotas" for users? | 04:45 |
| stgraber | Ahmuck: using the FS quota thing and the quota software should do it, haven't done that for a while but there should be some good doc on internet | 04:46 |
| sbalneav | Ahmuck: stgraber's right for disk quotas. | 04:48 |
| Ahmuck | would i use fs to set ACL to prevent traversing directories as well? | 04:49 |
| Ahmuck | or is there a better tool? | 04:49 |
| * Ahmuck nudges nubae | 04:50 | |
| sbalneav | Well, by traversing directories, do you mean prevent people from going into a directory? | 04:51 |
| Ahmuck | breaking out of thier home directory using the file manager or command line | 04:51 |
| sbalneav | It's pretty much impossible to prevent them from doing that, they'll need access to a lot of things on the system. | 04:51 |
| sbalneav | Besides, there's not much they can do anyway, other than look. | 04:52 |
| Ahmuck | that was always my assumption, but i was not sure | 04:52 |
| sbalneav | They can't get into other people's home directories, that's what's important | 04:52 |
| sbalneav | What directories were you looking to keep them out of? | 04:54 |
| Ahmuck | all of them. but i suppose if they snoop, it might not be a bad thing, as they would be learning | 04:55 |
| Ahmuck | i've got 4G ram, and a 3600 amd athlon proc. think this is going to work? | 04:55 |
| Ahmuck | for 4 fat and three thins? | 04:55 |
| sbalneav | Well, you can't ban them from /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /lib and /usr/lib, since the program's theyre running on the desltop are in there. | 04:55 |
| Ahmuck | i decided not to get the brand new server. i think were going to spend the money elsewhere on educational items. | 04:56 |
| sbalneav | Well, the 3600's a little underpowered, but at least you've got a goodly amount of ram. | 04:57 |
| sbalneav | So I'd say it should work not too badly. | 04:57 |
| Ahmuck | ah, neat. ubuntu manual partition has user quota as a filesystem option | 05:39 |
| Ahmuck | sbalneav: if they were all fat clients? | 05:40 |
| Ahmuck | so my ram might be overkill. i might split the ram on another computer | 05:40 |
| sbalneav | I've never used fat clients. I'm only interested in thin clients. But I'd expect that the more you offload tot he clients, the less you need on the server. | 05:41 |
