     108      <para> 
     109        Here's an excerpt from a <filename>pg_hba.conf</filename> file. This one rejects all 
     110        connections to PyKota's database excepted when made from the same host by <application>PostgreSQL</application> users 
     111        <literal>pykotauser</literal> or <literal>pykotaadmin</literal> with the correct password.

     122        Of course if your print server and your database servers have different <acronym>IP</acronym> 
     123        addresses, you have to replace the <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> address above with your print 
     124        server's <acronym>IP</acronym> address.

    133152        is waiting for your connections, you have to create the Quota Storage DataBase. 
    134153        To do so, you'll have to feed <application>PostgreSQL</application> with the 
    135         <filename>pykota-x.xx/initscripts/postgresql/pykota-postgresql.sql</filename> file. 
     154        <filename>pykota-1.21/initscripts/postgresql/pykota-postgresql.sql</filename> file. 
    136155        This file will create a Quota DataBase administrator in the <application>PostgreSQL</application> system, then create an empty 
    137156        Quota DataBase and set some permissions on it. The Quota DataBase administrator 
     
    144163        This read-only user is used by <application>PyKota</application> to connect to the  
    145164        Quota Storage when an user who is not a <application>PyKota</application> administrator

    147166        launches a pykota command. This prevents normal 
    148167        users from being able to modify their own, or other users', quota information. 
     
    221240        take any other step as needed. Please refer to <application>PostgreSQL</application>'s 
    222241        documentation for details. Also if <application>PyKota</application>'s configuration 
    223         file <filename>/etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename> is readable by anyone with access on your file system,  
     242        file <filename>~pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename> is readable by anyone with access on your file system,  
    224243        a local user could create some script to modify his own print quota.

    376395      <para> 
    377         Once you have chosen and created your directory structure, you have to modify PyKota's configuration files <filename>/etc/pykota/pykota.conf</filename> 
    378         and <filename>/etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename> 
     396        Once you have chosen and created your directory structure, you have to modify PyKota's configuration files <filename>~pykota/pykota.conf</filename> 
     397        and <filename>~pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename> 
    379398        to set some LDAP specific options and binding <literal>dn</literal>s. The easiest is

    561       You have to copy these files into the <filename>/etc/pykota</filename> 
     580      You have to copy these files into the <filename>~pykota</filename> 
    562581      directory (you have to create it before), under the respective names <filename>pykota.conf</filename> and  
    563582      <filename>pykotadmin.conf</filename>. Once copied there, you just

    577       Please create a backup copy of the <filename>/etc/pykota</filename> 
     596      Please create a backup copy of the <filename>~pykota</filename> 
    578597      directory before modifying a working installation. 
    579598    </para> 
     
    595614      double check their permissions, otherwise your installation may be 
    596615      insecure or may not work at all. 
    597       The main configuration file <filename>/etc/pykota/pykota.conf</filename> 
     616      The main configuration file <filename>~pykota/pykota.conf</filename> 
    598617      doesn't contain much sensitive information, so it can be made 
    599618      readable by anyone. If normal users read this file, at best they 
    600619      will learn the username and optional password of the read-only 
    601620      database user, so they won't be allowed to do any harm. 
    602       On the other hand, the <filename>/etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename> 
     621      On the other hand, the <filename>~pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename> 
    603622      file contains the read-write user's identity and password. You must then 
    604623      ensure that no normal user can read this file. It should only be readable 
     
    608627      with CUPS, here's how to do to give the correct permissions : 
    609628      <screen> 
    610 $ chown root.root /etc/pykota/pykota.conf       
    611 $ chmod 644 /etc/pykota/pykota.conf       
    612 $ chown lp.lpadmin /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf       
    613 $ chmod 640 /etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf       
     629$ chown root.root ~pykota/pykota.conf       
     630$ chmod 644 ~pykota/pykota.conf       
     631$ chown lp.lpadmin ~pykota/pykotadmin.conf       
     632$ chmod 640 ~pykota/pykotadmin.conf       
    614633      </screen> 
    615634       
     
    617636        <title>Warning</title> 
    618637        <para> 
    619           All the users allowed to read the <filename>/etc/pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename>  
     638          All the users allowed to read the <filename>~pykota/pykotadmin.conf</filename>  
    620639          are considered to be <application>PyKota</application> administrators. So be 
    621640          careful with these files permissions.
