I have also tried that as well to no avail. It almost seems to be the
program is wrong or something as the response is "Invalid Argument". I
only start it as "quotaon -u /home". This is what I am told to do. It
almost seems as if the program is passing itself an argument (strange?) or
I am missing an argument (Not listed?).
Any programmers out there wish to comment on this? Any other ideas on
what might be wrong with quotas?
Thanks
