Good morning, we run several Redhat Linux servers and recently we noticed, that some of our users do have a problem with their quota. We changed our policy for the students username to be their registration number; e.g. 0306025. We create the accounts and set the quota by the tool webmin (www.webmin.com), which uses setquota for handling quotas. Now some users do get problems with there quota. Some quotas are set, some users do have unlimeted space. For users having unlimited space, I can't set the quota from within webmin, but doing an edquota, the quota shows 0 blocks used even if there is space used and the soft and hard limits are set to the limit I set by webmin. An other strange thing is, that the edquota command shows a strange uid which isn't the same as in the /etc/passwd-file. repquota -a|grep 0306025 0306025 -- 242144 307200 665600 106 0 0 edquota 0306025 Disk quotas for user 0306025 (uid 101397): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/sda6 0 0 0 0 0 0 grep 0306025 /etc/passwd 0306025:x:787:503:Amelie Kuester:/home/studenten/0306025:/sbin/nologin after doing setquota -u 0306025 102411 204811 600 610 -a edquota shows: Disk quotas for user 0306025 (uid 101397): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/sda6 0 102411 204811 0 600 610 But for a completly different uid. and repquota -a|grep 0306025 0306025 -- 242144 307200 665600 106 0 0 Any ideas? Thanks a lot and best regards!
