Hello all,
This is Jason Nunn here again. I am releasing yet another piece of
Linux/Unix software... this time, for the ISP's in mind.
If you are running Linux,FreeBSD etc, and are a:
- SYSOP operating a commerical Internet Service
- A University Operator administering a set of Unix boxes
- Admin of an internal commerical system etc
Then you may be very interested in "Clobberd". Clobberd is a
Linux/Unix daemon that will allow you to quota/regulate Total Time, Daily
time, CPU and Memory usage. It was developed on Linux 2.0.0 (POSIX), but
with very little effort can be ported to FreeBSD, SunOS, Solaris etc...
just ask your local Unix guru ;)
Please read on if you are interested.
see ya

PS/ This is a BETA release. Even though it's been troughly tested, i am
still not convinced that it is bug free, and only 3 people can ever tested
it.
=======================================================================
Clobberd 1.x Install Jason Nunn (JsNO)
| \ FREEWARE, Authorship Reserved 1996
\ Patch level Darwin, Northern Territory,
Version AUSTRALIA
- --------------------
Clobberd has been written for Internet Service Providers who want to quota
their access. For any/all/some of your users, you can quota time per day,
and/or sell them a time 'chunk' (so to speak), which they will consume
until it runs out, regulate CPU and memory usage at any given time. If a
user has exceeded any of the above quotas, Clobberd will boot them off
(warning them first of course). Another interesting feature is that
Clobberd will allow users to 'telnet' in and find out info from it like
their time usage etc. Admin can perform simple maintenance tasks by
telneting in as well. To get a full description of what is does, do a
'less clobberd.8'.
