LIMITS.CTL : This file allows you specify, for each
security level, a daily time limit, file
download limit for each baud rate, and
optional file ratios, either in number of
uploads to number of downloads, or in total
kilobytes uploaded to total kilobytes
downloaded. The format of the file is as
follows:
<Sec Lvl> <Time> <300> [1200] [2400] [4800] [9600]
or:
<Sec Lvl> <Time> <300> <1200> <2400> <4800> <9600> <R#> [RK]
Where <Sec Lvl> is the security level,
<Time> is the daily time limit, <300> to
<9600> are respective download limits
depending on what baud rate the user calls
at. <R#> is the ratio of uploads to
downloads, and [RK] is the ratio of uploads
in K to downloads in K.
If you only specify a download limit for say
300, 1200 and 2400 baud, the download limits
for the higher baud rates default to the
highest baud rate specified, in this case
the limit set for 2400 baud.
If you specify a ratio by number (R#) value,
then the user will be required to upload one
file for every n they download. Similarly,
setting the ratio by K will allow the user
to download only the specified kilobytes of
files per 1 kilobyte uploaded.
This is fairly complicated, so look at this
example LIMITS.CTL:
5 35 0
10 60 100 200 350 650 900 5 10
20 90 150 250 470 750 900 5
30 120 250 400 600 900 1200
50 300 900
Security level 5 entitles the user to 35
minutes per day, but no downloads.
Security level 10 entitles the user to 60
minutes per day, 100k of downloads at 300
baud, 200k at 1200 baud, 350k at 2400 baud,
650k at 4800 baud, and 900k at 9600 baud or
faster. In addition, the user must upload at
least one file for every five downloaded,
and may not download more than ten times the
total size of files uploaded.
Security level 20 entitles the user to 90
minutes per day, 150k of downloads at 300
baud, 250k at 1200 baud, 470k at 2400 baud,
750k at 4800 baud and 900k at 9600 baud or
faster. In addition, the user may only
download five times the number of files
he/she uploaded.
Security level 30 entitles the user to 120
minutes per day, 250k of downloads at 300
baud, 400k at 1200 baud, 600k at 2400 baud,
900k at 4800 baud and 1,200k at 9600 baud or
faster. There are no ratio restrictions.
Security level 50 entitles the user to 300
minutes per day, and 900k of downloads at
all speeds without any ratio restrictions.
