HP-UX doesn't have disk quota as of 7.0, but I've been tols that a disk quota very similar to the one on Suns has been implemented in the next release, 8.0. In fact it should work together with Sun's quota (rpc.rquotad over NFS). Carl-Lykke> How am I supposed to control the diskusage?

In Finland they have promised 8.0 in May, but in the mean time I have partitioned my disks in a few pieces and placed the most space consuming users together on the same partition. They seem to control each other quite well ;-) -- Kim / Internet: Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi "That's what I think." / Bitnet: KIM@FINFILES
