Yes, I have been told so too. What have HP done about 'chown'? Today everybody can 'chown' all there files to somebody else, and this seems to work against quotas. >I know that feeling.

In Denmark they say June for the 300/400-series, so I have to wait a little longer (Sigh!). You are talking about the 800/700-series I suppose. As far as I know it is not possible to partition a disk on the 300/400-series. Maybe I could just ask the users to be considerate. BTW: Does anybody have a list of differences between HPUX 7.0 and 8.0? And does anybody have a guess about what the differences will be between 8.0 and OSF/1?
