Hi,

I am writing a Perl script to run on our web server. This script will
be used to create user accounts.

I can do almost every thing on the web server:

- create the home directory
- add a user in LDAP
- create the MySQL database for that user

The only thing I cannot do is to set the disk quota: the home
directory is NFS mounted from another machine acting as file server,
the quota must be edited on the file server.

How could I nicely and securely connect from the script on the web
server to the file server, in order to edit the quota? It should be
nice and secure and without password.

TIA

Olivier
