Limiting Filesizes with /etc/login.conf

[James Tucker]

Hi, 

I have been trying to set max file size limits for class of users on my
system. I have tried to setup a specific class for this purpose and
while it "cap_mkdb's" with no error messages when I copy files over to
the users directory I find that I can upload files of any size!

This is the class that I have configured in /etc/login.conf:

________________________________________
personal:\
       :cputime=infinity:\
       :datasize-cur=10M:\
       :stacksize-cur=8M:\
       :memorylocked-cur=10M:\
       :memoryuse-cur=30M:\
       :filesize=10M:\
       :coredumpsize=infinity:\
       :maxproc-cur=64:\
       :openfiles-cur=64:\
       :priority=0:\
       :requirehome@:\
       :umask=022:\
________________________________________


and the users chpass output:

________________________________________
Login: julie
Password: xxx
Uid [#]: 12001
Gid [# or name]: 12001
Change [month day year]:
Expire [month day year]:
Class: personal
Home directory: /home/julie
Shell: /bin/sh
Full Name: Julie XXX
________________________________________

and /etc/passwd output:
________________________________________
julie:*:12001:12001:Julie XXX:/home/julie:/bin/sh
________________________________________


Looking at the man pages her .login.conf shouldn't override this, "Only
a subset of login capabilities may be overridden, typically those which
do not involve authentication, resource limits and accounting." and this
looks like resource limiting to me!

I have even taken the step to rename the .login.conf still with no
effect!

I'm a bit stuck, as far as I can see everything should work..? Does
anybody see anything wrong with this setup? 

Many Thanks!

James
