[ILUG] restricting file upload size

[mfogarty]

Can anyone help me out with some advice?

I have a redhat enterprise 3 server that my users ssh into (openssh 
3.91).  I want to set a maximum limit, if I can, on the size of files 
being uploaded. Not an overall quota, a max size per file.

I don't want to set a restriction on the permitted file sizes on the 
server because I assume this will interfere with my log generation etc. 
and because I'm stuck with a lot of legacy content in my document tree 
(it's a web server) over the size I now want to impose. I just want to 
stop users uploading any more enormous files.

I'm working on the assumption that the way to do this is via the 
sshd_config but I can't find any way to do so.  Does anyone know if this 
is possible, or have any alternative suggestions??

Thanks in advance

Maria
