Disk Quota,email aliases

[Jayesh shah]

Hi,

How do you setup disk quotas for users? Does anytool have this functionality on HP-UX?

How do you setup email aliases for users?
I want to do this when I am creating a user account.

Any information on this is appreciated.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,

eg. For vxfs fs on /test

# touch /test/quotas

# vi /etc/fstab # add quota in the filesystem options
/dev/vg00/lvol2 /test vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,quota 0 2

# quotaon /test # if you want the quotas to take effect now instead of reboot or you can umount and mount the file system

# man 1 quota
# man 5 quota

Hi

I will give U the procedure for setting up the Disk quota. Make a note of this and proceed. Here I am giving example to impliment quota in /home filesystem.

#cpset /dev/null /home/quotas 600 root bin

Here /dev/null is for making size to zero
/home is the root of the file system where U are implimenting quota.
600 is the mode and root:bin is the owner and group. Then

#edquota

Now U will get an editor. Here enter the limits in blocks, and number of inodes, then save and come out. For more information see man edquota

Now there are three ways to enable the quota.

1. Turn on quota while booting. Modify the fstab like this

/dev/vg00/lvol4 /home hfs rw,suid,quota 0 2

2. Turn on disk quota by mounting FS

umount /home
mount -o quota /dev/vg00/lvol4 /home

3. Turn on by command

#quotaon -v /home


I hope now U are clear.

Email alias U don't need to configure while creating users. See the documents for sendmail configuration.

Best of luck

Disk quotas is fairly easy to setup - Check the documentation in the HP Manual "System Admin Tasks" or here

http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90672/B2355-90672_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90672/00/00/52-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90672/00/00/52-toc.html&searchterms=quotas&queryid=20020703-090044

Aliases can be setup in the /etc/mail/aliases file eg

nick : nxw
nxw : nick.wickens@twefs.co.uk

This sets an alias of Nick to connect to the mail address for user nxw.

You can also setup distribution lists such as

dba : nxw,frd,aqt
