NIS server to manage NFS quota
I have a Solaris NIS master server to manage my Solaris NIS clients' passwd, group, shadow. I also have a EMC NAS.
The NAS is NFS mounted on my clients. I would like to use disk quota to manage my users.
From what I read from the SUN doc, quota can be implemented on the Solaris NFS client OS.
Is it possible to implement quota from the NIS master server to centralize the administrative task?
Anyone has any good reference or info on this topic?
Is it do-able in the 1st place?
