This is our problem too. We have a set of scripts that run in conjunction with the nightly accounting that compile data on each user's consumption on each disk in the system -- how many megabytes, what percent of the disk that is, and how full the disk is overall. Users see this any time they login from a machine outside of our network, dial in, or unlock their 'lockscreen' (remember, these are Suns). We have found it an effective tool to remind people of their usage, and we encourage users to keep each other in line (politely, of course). -- David Bernholdt bernhold@qtp.ufl.edu Quantum Theory Project bernhold@ufpine.bitnet University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 904/392 6365
