(yes, i enables option QUOTA > in the kernel) Up until a could of weeks ago I did have quotas enabled on my machine, and they seemed to work just fine. You need to enable them in /etc/sysconfig, and your kernel config file. Then run edquota to set some limits on some people. However, I turned quotas back off because some recent changes started causing lots of quota related panics and decided to back off for now. I think if you are running 2.1-release or 2.1-stable you should be fine. > > However, accounting seems to work as far as i understand it. > I can check how much time each user has been on the machine.
