Usable? sax.sax.de runs with them under FreeBSD 2.1R, as a login server for a small non-commercial ISP. The machine is not as stable as i wish it were, but it's also not the very best kind of hardware at all. I can't directly hold the quotas responsible for the crashes or hangs, they appear randomly all over the place (mostly page faults, in case i've got a core dump), and we're seeing too many logs of sig 11's as well, so i tend to blame hardware. (However, upgrading from 2.0.5 to 2.1 made it surprisingly more stable.) The important thing is that you _must_ put the quota control file into the same partition. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
