No. That's what I meant... Seems it doesn't read those lines in rc. I
even try to add the complete path in those lines in /etc/rc
# Check the quotas (must be after ypbind if
using NIS)[ "X${check_quotas}" = X"YES" ]; then
echo -n 'checking quotas:'
/usr/sbin/quotacheck -a
echo ' done.'
/usr/sbin/quotaon -a
originally was
# Check the quotas (must be after ypbind if
using NIS)[ "X${check_quotas}" = X"YES" ]; then
echo -n 'checking quotas:'
quotacheck -a
echo ' done.'
quotaon -a
Either way it's like they are not there...
But I can assure you that the rc file is read...
nfs mount, etc, etc messages appear
I presently have quotaon -a in rc.local... but I
would like to know why is this happening...
