You will need to recompile the kernel to use disk quotas. The FreeBSD handbook documents this fairly well. To answer your second question, I would recommend a good book. I don't think there are any WWW pages that teach you UNIX system administration. The FreeBSD handbook is the closest thing to that. ---------- From: Paul Walsh[SMTP:paul@nation-net.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 1996 5:14 AM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Restricting User disk space Is there a way to allocate a limited amount of disk space to users? Is there a web-site for intro to Unix admin in general!? Thanks, Paul Walsh.
