.SH "NAME"
pam_setquota \- PAM module to set or modify disk quotas on session start
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBpam_setquota\&.so\fR\ 'u
\fBpam_setquota\&.so\fR [fs=\fI/home\fR] [overwrite=\fI0\fR] [debug=\fI0\fR] [startuid=\fI1000\fR] [enduid=\fI0\fR] [bsoftlimit=\fI19000\fR] [bhardlimit=\fI20000\fR] [isoftlimit=\fI3000\fR] [ihardlimit=\fI4000\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
pam_setquota is a PAM module to set or modify a disk quota at session start
.PP
This makes quotas usable with central user databases, such as MySQL or LDAP\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
.PP
\fBfs=\fR\fB\fI/home\fR\fR
.RS 4
The device file or mountpoint the policy applies to\&. Defaults to the filesystem containing the users home directory\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBoverwrite=\fR\fB\fI0\fR\fR
.RS 4
Overwrite an existing quota\&. Note: Enabling this will remove the ability for the admin to manually configure different quotas for users for a filesystem with
\fBedquota\fR(8)\&. (Defaults to 0)
.RE
.PP
\fBdebug=\fR\fB\fI0\fR\fR
.RS 4
Enable debugging\&. A value of 1 outputs the old and new quota on a device\&. A value of 2 also prints out the matched and found filesystems should
\fBfs\fR
be unset\&. (Defaults to 0)
.RE
.PP
\fBstartuid=\fR\fB\fI1000\fR\fR
.RS 4
Describe the start of the UID range the policy is applied to\&. (Defaults to UID_MIN from login\&.defs or the uidmin value defined at compile\-time if UID_MIN is undefined)
.RE
.PP
\fBenduid=\fR\fB\fI0\fR\fR
.RS 4
Describe the end of the UID range the policy is applied to\&. Setting
\fIenduid=0\fR
results in an open\-ended UID range (i\&.e\&. all uids greater than
\fBstartuid\fR
are included)\&. (Defaults to 0)
.RE
.PP
\fBbsoftlimit=\fR\fB\fI19000\fR\fR
.RS 4
Soft limit for disk quota blocks, as defined by
\fBquotactl\fR(2)\&. Note:
\fBbsoftlimit\fR
and
\fBbhardlimit\fR
\fImust\fR
be set at the same time!
.RE
.PP
\fBbhardlimit=\fR\fB\fI20000\fR\fR
.RS 4
Hard limit for disk quota blocks, as defined by
\fBquotactl\fR(2)\&. Note:
\fBbsoftlimit\fR
and
\fBbhardlimit\fR
\fImust\fR
be set at the same time!
.RE
.PP
\fBisoftlimit=\fR\fB\fI3000\fR\fR
.RS 4
Soft limit for inodes, as defined by
\fB quotactl\fR(2)\&. Note:
\fBisoftlimit\fR
and
\fBihardlimit\fR
\fImust\fR
be set at the same time!
.RE
.PP
\fBihardlimit=\fR\fB\fI4000\fR\fR
.RS 4
Hard limit for inodes, as defined by
\fB quotactl\fR(2)\&. Note:
\fBisoftlimit\fR
and
\fBihardlimit\fR
\fImust\fR
be set at the same time!
.RE
.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
.PP
Only the
\fBsession\fR
module type is provided\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.PP
.PP
PAM_SUCCESS
.RS 4
The quota was set successfully\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_IGNORE
.RS 4
No action was taken because either the UID of the user was outside of the specifed range, a quota already existed and
\fBoverwrite=1\fR
was not configured or no limits were configured at all\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
.RS 4
The user was not found\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_PERM_DENIED
.RS 4
/proc/mounts
could not be opened\&.
.sp
The filesystem or device specified was not found\&.
.sp
The limits for the user could not be retrieved\&. See syslog for more information\&.
.sp
The limits for the user could not be set\&. See syslog for more information\&.
.sp
Either
\fBisoftlimit\fR/\fBihardlimit\fR
or
\fBbsoftlimit\fR/\fBbhardlimit\fR
were not set at the same time\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
A single invocation of `pam_setquota` applies a specific policy to a UID range\&. Applying different policies to specific UID ranges is done by invoking pam_setquota more than once\&. The last matching entry defines the resulting quota\&.
