Since I'll get a new 1GB disk for all my users (currently 54) I'd like to monitor their diskspace. So I tried to set up the quotas on my 386bsd machine (every other station is mounting from here) Just let me see if I understand. You have a file server that is running 386BSD/NetBSD and you want to allow others using NFS to mount your server and use quotas. Everything is fine on MY machine (where my raw-device is mounted ufs and userquota) but on every other system I don't get any quota-limitations at all. If I hack a quota <user> on any other machine there comes no quota for <usename> <uid>. I have mounted with nfs and userquota on the clients. I tried it with noquota too but didn't work. Can anybody help? Needless to say. Quota support is local only. To support remote quotas both client and server need to have something like the NFS related rpc.rquotad running and the client NFS must be able to speak to it. Now the interface is published in /usr/include/rpc/rquota.x, but how about the semantics. The answer is - "some assembly required"... -THANKS TO YALL! - Peter -- /--------------------------------------------------------\ | Peter Burgstaller| Student of Computerscience | | (peter@cosy.sbg.ac.at)| in Salzburg, Austria (Europe) | | "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" (Douglas Adams) | \--------------------------------------------------------/ -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Brezak UUCP: uunet!osf!brezak Open Software Foundation Internet: brezak@osf.org 11 Cambridge Center Fax: (617) 621 8696 Cambridge, Massachusetts Phone: (617) 621-7350
