[K12OSN] Modify User Quotas

[M.Pribik]

Try those lines written directly in terminal window:

A. this line will write all users having current quotas more than limits
[root at ...]#  repquota -a | awk '/+/'

B.  First set template user for quotas folder:
    example:
  [root at ...]# setquota -u templeuser 200000 500000 1000 5000 /home
  [root at ...]# setquota -u templeuser 200000 500000 1000 5000 /tmp
  [root at ...]# setquota -u templeuser 200000 500000 1000 5000 /var

C This line will repeat all quotas from user "templeuser" to all other users
with ID greater then 500
[root at ...]# edquota -p templeuser `awk -F: '$3>500 {print $1}' /etc/passwd`

 check for correct apostrophes.
I hope it helps you.
Regards Marian.
