[03:23] <sbalneav> Evening all
[04:45] <Ahmuck> is there a way to provide "quotas" for users?
[04:46] <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
[04:48] <sbalneav> Ahmuck: stgraber's right for disk quotas.
[04:49] <Ahmuck> would i use fs to set ACL to prevent traversing directories as well?
[04:49] <Ahmuck> or is there a better tool?
[04:50]  * Ahmuck nudges nubae
[04:51] <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.
[04:52] <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
[04:54] <sbalneav> What directories were you looking to keep them out of?
[04:55] <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.
[04:56] <Ahmuck> i decided not to get the brand new server.  i think were going to spend the money elsewhere on educational items.
[04:57] <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.
[05:39] <Ahmuck> ah, neat.  ubuntu manual partition has user quota as a filesystem option
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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.
[05:48] <LaserJock> sbalneav: evening
