Hi there!
I'd like to get to know how to disable an user to use no more than say 5MB of disk space? I know that it is possible to do it in the above file but I was not able to figure it out.

Never used it, but think your looking for: quota
There is an ebuild, check it out.
| Code: | * sys-fs/quota
Latest version available: 3.12
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 206 kB
Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota/

Didn't see this before, but look at /etc/limits looks like it might do what you want without emerging another package like quota.
Then again, it might not work if using PAM.
| Quote: | | Set up limits in /etc/security/limits.conf (note that /etc/limits is not used if you are using PAM) Note: This particular was from Debian. |
Sure is confusing. Anyway, if want to wade thru it, the Gentoo docs have info on this:
Check out | Code: | | 6. User/group limitations |
at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-security.xml
