Morning Ben,
I dont believe that quotas are enabled as default in a Redhat install, and
requires a kernel recompile - for information on how to do so, refer to the
quotashowto that is included with FreeVSD docs.
Recompiling a kernel is not as frightening as it sounds, and there is a lot
of information and howtos out there to help, the other excellent thing is
that you can add the newly compiled kernel image to Lilo, and not have to
remove your old kernel, if you do have a problem when you reboot, you can
reboot the machine using the old kernel, I just love to have a safe escape
route!! =>
Cheers,
Nigel.
