IMHO quotas on /var/spool are a bad idea. They are only effective (as you have discovered) if the user owns the file there - many processes (news, mail, etc.) put things in spool with the ownership other than the user who the file is for. If you do get say all the processes to put the file in

Does you SCSI card have *gasp* jumpers to configure the interrupts (or software)? I get similar messages if I put the wrong irq in the AHA152x module load line. If it is one of those plug-n-pray cards there used to be some utils that might help, iirc. Pat Ouellette Email: [EMAIL
