How true! I just lost my queryspace autorisation -for the user root :( -
and am not able to restore it; nor manually, nor via sysadmsh! Nice
feature, isn't it? Ah, good old xenix times! To know my free space amount,
I have to mount my hard disk on my HP-UX filesystem!

Yes I agree. My question is why wasting space (RAM and disk) for *security*
improvements on a machine NOT NECESSARILY CONNECTED ELSEWHERE? Compaq 
computer corp. supplied me with a hardware key, and I think that's quite
enough for me.
