Hello, these are quota statistics for UIDs that do not have matching users on your system. Their source are mostly the sources of software you compile on your machine. When you untar the archive i.e. tar -xzf program.tar.gz it restores original uids and gids of the system the archive has been created on. If you want to find these files, issue find / -nouser Regards, Bostjan On Tuesday 27 of April 2004 12:35, Joaquim Laureano wrote: > Joaquim Laureano <laureano8@xxxxxxxxxxx> sporoca: > > Hi, > > When I execute the command "repquota -a" I get the listing of quota > values for all the users listed in /etc/passwd plus a few other as listed > below: > > #307 -- 1156 0 0 67 0 0 > #1001 -- 804 0 0 61 0 0 > #253 -- 5580 0 0 782 0 0 > #37725 -- 2196 0 0 79 0 0 > #507 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 > #1000 -- 136 0 0 11 0 0 > #516 -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 > #6000 -- 100 0 0 9 0 0 > > The number of these strange "characters" is increasing overtime. > Does anyone know what is at work here? > Thank you. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
