Heres the situation: I am leasing a server from a relatively well known ISP in the DC area... It is installed w/ FreeBSD 5.3 Release (Generic) These geniuses gave me the box without the ports tree or the kernel sources... This wouldnt be a problem, except that, among other things, they didnt compile in the quota support. I desperately need it. Questions: 1. Is there a kernel module to implement quota support (I have googled incessantly trying to find it w/o much luck) 2. Is there a trivial way to get the kernel sources and ports tree (and more importantly, how safe (in terms of the box coming back) is it to recompile the kernel if I can get the sources) - they pretty much killed about 50% of my reason for getting FBSD by leaving out the ports WTF??. 3. Finally, out of curiousity, does anyone know why quota support is left our of the stock FreeBSD Kernel, I am assuming there must be a compelling reason for this... and are there any alternatives (short of me writing lots of ugly code - which I have lacking time and motivation for) -- .......................................................
