I assume you are talking about Quotas.tar.Z, written by the godlike Marc Majka (Hi Marc). :-) I believe it is still on sonata in /pub/next/1.0-release/sources. Let me add that I use it on our systems here every night, including tons and tons of kludgey hacks to do all sorts of stuff like compressing directories for people who are over (instead of disabling their accounts), etc.... it works absolutely fine, and we have 1770 user accounts at last count (netinfo of course). -- David Lemson (217) 244-1205 University of Illinois NeXT Campus Consultant / CCSO NeXT Lab System Admin Internet : lemson@uiuc.edu UUCP :...!uiucuxc!uiucux1!lemson NeXTMail accepted BITNET : LEMSON@UIUCVMD
