I was tinkering with quotas on my own box (just for fun :) ) a while ago, my /home is mounted nosuid,nodev as well and quotas worked fine, the quota.user,quota.group are just data files they do not need to be suid (and are not) i think you have a unrelated problem here. i was using 2.2.12 (or maybe 11) but its a redhat system have not tried quotas on debian yet. (i really have no use for them other then for my own amusement) Best Regards, Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/

I think I might be able to help with additional information. What type of filesystem are you using? eg is it: ext2? removable? Why do you want the sosuid and nodev options? -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED]
