[LARTC] How to limit bandwidth for a single user

[Joachim Wickman]

Hi

Is it possible to limit bandwidth for a couple of users on the Linux box?
And if so, is there any docs describing how or can someone help me?

Thx,
  Joachim

If you mean that you want to limit bandwidth for different users at a
single system: only the outgoing stream can be shaped, with the owner
match extension. I don't think incoming traffic can be shaped per user.

If the different users have different machines and IP addresses, it can be
done easily. Just read the HOWTO.

Good point I think the only way to do what he's talking about is creating a
.bashrc that alters the netconfig... only problem with that is finding a way
to make it not happen system wide :)
