It would really be nice to have a *clean* way to do this. Is there any vital functionality that would be lost by moving the open after the uid is altered? > the quota system is somewhat broken. I have noticed that some users' soft limits are enforced as hard, and some hard limits are ignored. We're still on various 2.2.x systems btw.
