Operating Systems AIX How to find the top 6 users (which consume most space)? Post 302135249 by RebelDac on Friday 7th of September 2007 04:30:35 AM

Question Thank you, but...

Thank you! The command works indeed, but I need to find out how much space consumes each of the top 6 users from another directory, not their own space from /home.
The AIX machine we are talking about is shared between more users. Each of them has his own working directory (/home/userid), but here there is no problem because this quota is limited.
Besides this space, the users have also access in another directory(ies) where they create some "views" which consume the available disk space. I need to find out the users who consume the most of it.
The list of the users can be "loaded" from /home directories list.

NAME
ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon DESCRIPTION
The text file ftpusers contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. This file is used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked environment. It will typically contain a list of the users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP server daemon. Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news. If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers then it is suggested that you read its documentation to find out how to block access for certain users. Washington University FTP server Daemon (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers. Format The format of ftpusers is very simple. There is one account name (or username) per line. Lines starting with a # are ignored. FILES
/etc/ftpusers SEE ALSO
passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8) COLOPHON
