That won't help him, and he know I think. You can limit the folder size in Linux? How? :) Otoh, forcing filesystem access to fail may cause massive problems for the database structural integrity, can it? I wouldn't feel good with doing that. My idea is still to create a little script that revokes INSERT and UPDATE rights from the user if the database (or whatever unit you want to check) exceeds the maximum allowed size and grant these rights again if the size is below maximum. This script (PHP or Perl should be OK, both are free for all platforms) can be run by the OS scheduler (Linux cron or Windows task scheduler). If you need some PHP code for that, let me know. It won't give you a perfect protection but I believe this is OK for everyday use. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Unclassified NewsBoard Forum --> newsboard.unclassified.de Free (GPL), easy to use and install, secure, innovative!
