Hi All :)

In preparation for revamping a webhosting product, I've been trying to
test user and group quotas, and have found a strange thing which I don't
understand.  I'm hoping someone can either explain it or point out where
I went wrong:

1)  I added the "option QUOTA" line and recompiled the kernel;

2)  I added the userquota and groupquota options for the /usr partition
in fstab;

3)  I set the enable_quota="YES" option in rc.conf;

4)  I rebooted the machine;

5)  I created the group "testgrp", and user "testuser" in that group;

6)  I created the directory /usr/home/testuser owned by that user and
group;

6)  I used edquota -g testgrp to set a hard limit of 5;

7)  I logged in as testuser, and was able to copy a file into the
directory that exceeded the limit by 141 blocks

I got no complaints of any kind while copying the file about quota
limits, it did not prevent me from exceeding the limit (as it did when I
was testing user quotas) but did flag the exceeded limit when I did
quota -g testgrp:

Disk quotas for group testgrp (gid xxxx):
Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit grace
           /usr     146*      0       5    none       3       0       0

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

TIA,

- David
