That reminds me vaguely of something.
man rsync: yes indeed:
--bwlimit=KBPS limit I/O bandwidth, KBytes per second
Dammit! I looked in the rsyncd.conf manual page for something like this before replying, but I didn't think of looking in the rsync manual page itself.
Of course, this requires system administrators to rely on their users to limit their bandwidth consumption, which probably isn't the ideal solution to Peter's problem.
The sysadmin could add it to the alias list somewhere suitable.
Yes. But couldn't a user easily override that, e.g. by creating his own alias or by calling rsync directly (e.g. /usr/bin/rsync)? Cheers, Leen
