Quota and Red Hat 8.0?

[Jeff]

Does quota work in Red Hat 8?

quota -V
Quota utilities version 3.06.
Compiled with RPC
Bugs to mvw@planets.elm.net, jack@suse.cz

I've got my /etc/fstab entry:

LABEL=/home  /home  ext3  defaults,usrquota  1 2

I have my quota file [ created via quotacheck -avu ]

-rw-------    1 root     root         7168 Dec 20 18:49 aquota.user

I have quotas turned on:

quotaon -avu
/dev/hda2 [/home]: user quotas turned on

and I've set hard and soft block quotas for user "zero":

repquota -a
*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hda2
Block grace time: 00:00; Inode grace time: 00:00
                        Block limits                File limits
User            used    soft    hard  grace    used  soft  hard  grace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
root      --      44       0       0             18     0     0      
mysql     --     124       0       0             23     0     0      
zero      +-    4328    1024    1024   none      22     0     0      

But that doesn't stop "zero" from exceding his quota...

I've tried this with 3 different kernels [ 2.4.18-14; 2.4.18-19.8.0, and 2.4.20-ac2 ] all with quota support compiled in.

What do I need to do to make this work?

Thanks.

you must do:
$quotacheck -avucm

The letter "c" is important. It creates aquota.user and aquota.group.

Do it! It works!

Ok, so now quotas work in the shell, but my user can still exceed his quota via ftp.

I'm using pure-ftpd right now, but will change if quotas work with a different ftp server.

I think you must search the answer in the pure-ftpd documentation.
I d'ont have any experience with pure-ftpd, but I know that ProFtpd (the one I use) has a configurartion option to enable or disable quota support. So I thought maybe pure-ftpd would have one.
I searched in pure-ftpd site and if you try to read in this page:
http://pureftpd.org/README
and find the word "quota" maybe you have the answer...
