Thanks for your info. quota RPM has been instaled by the default instalation.
Pls see below.
[root@mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep quota
quota-3.12-5
I will have to edit /etc/fstab . I will have to add usrquota,grpquota
Now, my question is to which partition should I have to add usrquota,grpquota.
Is it to /var partion should I have to add quota as All incoming mail will be stored as /var/spool/mail/username
or
Is it to /home partion should I have to add quota as All users are system users ( i.e- /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group
to create account I use traditional useradd command as follows.
useradd username
my partion table of the hard disk is as follows. /var and /home partion are marked in BOLD letters.
pls see below
[root@mailgw ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 39G 1.6G 35G 5% /
/dev/sda1 2.9G 53M 2.7G 2% /boot
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda5 39G 201M 37G 1% /home
/dev/sda7 6.8G 2.4G 4.1G 38% /opt
/dev/sda6 6.8G 48M 6.4G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda8 52G 1.4G 48G 3% /var
