Hello,
I have been working on and off on Perl, for a year. My project guide at college asked me to create users on the Linux server, from a flatfile, ie provided at runtime and allocate quota's on the mailbox size only.
Well i configured my /var/spool/mail, enabled it to be enabled for user quotas. My script creates users, but does not allocate the user any quota.
How do i use the quota cmd, and force the quota onto the user(s) created??
Pls help. I am using the foll code:
sub set_new_quota { #user,blocks
local ($SYS_quota)=148;
local ($Q_SETDLIM)=3;
local ($uid,$bs) = @_ ;
local ($dir) = "/var/spool/mail\0";
local ($dqblk) = pack("LLLLLLLL",10000,$bs,0,1000,200,0,0,0);
local ($stat,$buf);
$stat=syscall($SYS_quota,$Q_SETDLIM,$dir,$uid+0,$dqblk);
return $stat==0;
}
and it won't do as is desired of it. Please help at the earliest, please. I am not having net access. Could u please send me a reply at abehl@email.com
Regards,
Amit

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
