At work I have about 1000 (soon to be as many as 2000) users who are limited to web-based and file-sharing access to their main server. The web access in question is to their email, bookmarks, calendar, etc. via a PHP3 program called TWIG. File sharing access is via NetATalk and Samba. I've also added a password changing web page that uses a CGI to pull off its tricks. My problem comes in when I need to install a disk quota system in the next few weeks. How do I notify the users of their disk usage? If there was a way to do this with PHP3, I could plug it right into TWIG and let them see it when they check their email. If there was a way to get the netatalk-asun port to report available disk space as thedisk quota and not the remaining space on the partition, then I would tell users to check it that way. (95% of our workstations are running MacOS 8.1 or higher, there are very few Windows computers at my job.) Does anyone have a suggestion on this? Is there something on freshmeat.net that I didn't see? Any web based or netatalk based solutions would be greatly appreciated. Of course, if there's another solution that I overlooked, that would be great, too. :) The only way that I've come up with to date is emailing all users their quota each night, but if they're over quota, then they wouldn't be able to receive that email.... :( Thanks in advance, Jaime To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
