Actually, I did not interpret Patrick's response as being rude or snide -
perhaps a bit too brief to be useful. But the topic of setting quotas on a
Unix system is too involved to be discussed on the *netatalk* list. Server
configuration information not dealing specifically with Netatalk is probably
better posted on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Richard,
As a useful resource, the Linux Documentation Project keeps an excellent
list of "How-To's", including quotas at
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/index.html
The quota link in PDF format is at
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/other-formats/pdf/Quota.pdf
Enjoy!
