Hi there,
  I have a small project for which I need to create accounts on my
computer and for each accounts, I'll need to set a disk space the
account can use (should give an error like "Disk quota exceeded" if
the user go beyond that limit) and I would like to monitor the usage
of the internet per users.
  For the bandwith, I was thinking on setting a simple firewall rule
that would log every packets for a specific IP (each account should
have a diff IP) and there should be a program, reading the firewall
logs, every day and summarise the usage on a daily basis.

  Then for the disk, who do we setup quotas for the space?

  Also, is it possible to set the /home/ directory to be unreadable?
That the user could only read what is inside /home/user/ for
example...

Thanks a lot!
