enable quotas Redhat, Centos, Linux

Here are the steps to implementing quotas on a RedHat based system :

We will enable quotas on /home on the /dev/hda3 partition.
Create user :
useradd user1
passwd user1

Edit /etc/fstab :
From :
/dev/hda3 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
To :
/dev/hda3 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2

create file /root/.netrc

put in :
machine ftp.ftpserver.com
user testuser
password testpass

chmod 400 /root/.netrc

don’t forget to chmod, so you have to be root to be able to access the file.

/usr/libexec/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root password
change according to your situation.
