Is there anything else I need to You want the values reversed. i.e. set the soft quota to a value smaller than the hard quota. i.e. the soft quota is what you want the user to keep their disk utilization to. The hard quota is what you will let them temporarily go to, but not beyond. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Who is this 'BSD', and why should we free him?"
