Setting Up Security

Chapter 3 Customizing Your Snap Server 27

Assigning Disk Usage Quotas

If desired, you can control how much disk storage space a user can consume on the

Snap Server.

For example, you may want to prevent some of your users from consuming more

than 100 MB of disk space each, while allowing other users to operate without any

restrictions.

To assign disk usage quotas:

1 Click Disk Quotas on the Security menu and then click Modify/View Disk Quotas.

The server displays a list of users along with their current disk space allocation

and consumption. Disk Quotas must be enabled in order to set quotas for users.

The Enable Disk Quotas page displays the current quota enabled/disabled state

of each disk. The current quota statistics for each user are displayed on the User

Disk Quota page. Usage percentage values are rounded up to the nearest whole

number.

2 Click on a user name to change the disk quotas for that user.

If you have enabled the Snap Server e-mail notification feature, the server informs you

whenever users fills up their available disk space.

If your network has over 1000 user and group names, the users may be displayed as a

range, for example [USR_1000..USR_2000]. Select

Expand Range to see all of the

users within the selected range.

Quotas use file ownership to calculate disk space consumed per user. In some cases,

it may be desirable to change file ownership in order to fairly distribute disk usage.

Accessing the Snap Server with GUEST Privileges

By default, a Snap Server has a predefined local user named GUEST that allows

anyone to use the Snap Server. If a user tries to access the Snap Server and is not

recognized, then that user is identified as GUEST and has whatever access

privileges that have been allowed to GUEST. This is equivalent to using an

anonymous login to access those shares made available to GUEST. Depending on the

level of security you require, you may want to restrict GUEST privileges when

accessing some (or all) network shares.

How Users Can Auto-Connect with GUEST Privileges

When a user tries to connect with a name that is not recognized as a local user, the Snap

Server checks to see if network users are enabled. If so, it lets the Windows domain

(or external NetWare server) decide what to do. If network users are not enabled,

the Snap Server auto-connects the user as GUEST.
