I dont know haw works qroup quotas, but can make a simple test:
log as user1 (of group webusers) and do:
dd if=/dev/zero of=delet_this_file bs=1k count=10k
log as user2 (also of group webusers) and repeat:
dd if=/dev/zero of=delet_this_file bs=1k count=10k
if you can generate the file, the quotas aplies to every user of group.
if you can't, the quotas aplies to the total of users of the group.
You can manage quotas at this way:
>From HandBook:
---------------
Sometimes it is desirable to set quota limits on a range of uids. This
can be done by use of the -p option on the edquota command. First,
assign the desired quota limit to a user, and then run edquota -p
protouser startuid-enduid. For example, if user test has the desired
quota limits, the following command can be used to duplicate those quota
limits for uids 10,000 through 19,999:
edquota -p test 10000-19999
>From edquota man page:
----------------------
If the -p option is specified, edquota will duplicate the quotas of the
prototypical user specified for each user specified. This is the
normal
mechanism used to initialize quotas for groups of users. If the
user
given to assign quotas to is a numerical uid range (e.g.
1000-2000), then
edquota will duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user for each
uid
in the range specified. This allows for easy setup of default
quotas for
a group of users. The uids in question do not have to be currently
as-
signed in /etc/passwd.
So you can make a profile of quota, then asign all new WEBusers in that
range.
