This mini how to should guide you how to enable your user “quota” in noguix linux.

REQUIREMENT:
Install quota-3.12.mo

1) Create new user for “admin”
$~: useradd -g users -s /bin/bash -d /mnt/hdb1/home/admin -m admin

2) edit /etc/fstab
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ext3 auto,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate

Add “usrquota” to the column no.4 as below:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ext3 auto,users,suid,dev,exec,usrquota 0 0 # AutoUpdate

3) edit /etc/rc.d/rc.M
Make sure you uncomment quota enable in command in your rc.M file

4) reboot your system

5) Set user quota
$~:edquota -F vfsv0 admin

configure block / inode & try use soft limit let say 2MB=2048. Save then exit(F10)

6) Check, scan, create & repair user aquota.user file
$~:quotacheck -vm /dev/hdb1

7) Display user quota
$quota -F vfsv0 -uvsil admin

root@noguix~:repquota -a
*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hdb1
Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days
Block limits File limits
User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace
———————————————————————-
root — 131728 0 0 5 0 0
admin +- 128 2048 0 5 5 5

8) Tets user quota
Previously, we set admin quota soft limit for 2MB. Simply copy & paste any file larger than 2MB to the admin home folder.

root@noguix~:repquota -a
*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hdb1
Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days
Block limits File limits
User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace
———————————————————————-
root — 131728 0 0 5 0 0
admin +- 7396 2048 0 6days 5 5 5

P/S :
-notice the “+” sign above?. This show that admin already exceeded quota soft limit.
-use webmin if this how to really can’t help you much.

This training really good for those who want to know more about how virtualization benefit your customer in Malaysia such as server consolidation & desktop management. They also teach you how to present to the customer from business & technical perspective by using white-board. Yes, you have to draw something technically that can be understand by your customer. It’s practically easy, somehow to present it from business perspective you need some talent which is I don’t have it

This howto applied & tested only on no-x linux distribution. I will not responsible on any damages caused by following this howto:

• how to enter gui = $startx
• how to auto configure no-x display = $xconf
• how to manually configure no-x display = $xorgconfig
• I lost my xorg.conf, how to replace it? = $xorgconfig
• I run startx, but i can’t see any display = press “ctrl,alt,+” or “ctrl,alt,-”

eGroupWare is another free business solution for small & medium company which let the user to share or manage their contact, mail, calendar, project & etc under one roof. Unlike novell groupwise, eGroupWare works on native web-interfaces & independent platforms plus you can access it by using your choice clients such as outlook, kontact & evolution. You also can share your files among users with File Manager applications inside eGropWare.

The down side of this software is, FelaMimail seem only supported for imap server & not for pop3. If you’re not so lucky, it won’t work at all.

I had tried to install eGroupWare onto No-x Linux without problem & it’s really pretty cool software. Most of the applications installed can work properly except for “FelaMiMail”. I can received & read my mailbox but can’t seem to send email from it. To let FelaMiMail work, you must have php configured with imap. You can check it through your php info on your server before you install it.

Requirements :

1. Apache (Apache2 is better)
2. PHP (imap support / enable)
3. Mysql

Installation

1. Extract the source file into your DocRoot /var/www/htdocs directory.
2. Open your browser & go to http://yourdomain.com/setup/
3. Follow the process & try to eliminate the errors you get during the installation.
4. Once header.inc.php is there, you are safe now. Just login to eGroupWare & configure it as what you want. Let all settings default & it wouldn’t hurt you much!

Thanks folks!
