Hi Jamie - your correct, it appears to be a Quota problem on the server

Here's how far my server guys got today
>>>
The problem is definitely with the quota system. Webmin uses a short perl 
script called "edquota.pl" to simulate the existence of a human-driven 
editor to the proper "edquota" command, but for some reason the script hangs 
badly (and requires a kill -9 to get rid of it).

there is a workaround for this problem (it's fairly involved, 
unfortunately):

- Log into the server via SSH, then add a new user via webmin.

- Wait a few seconds, then run "ps fax | grep edquota.pl" in the shell 
session to find the running edquota.pl process. The output should look 
something like:
<<<<<<<<
12383 ttyp0    S      0:00          \_ grep edquota.pl
12260 ?        R      0:01              \_ /usr/bin/perl 
/usr/local/webmin//quota/edquota.pl /tmp//EdP.aWHoTCe
>>>>>>>>

Ignore the line mentioning grep and note down the PID for the edquota.pl 
(the first number in that line, 12260 in this case) and kill it by running 
"kill -9 12260"

Repeat the "ps fax" and "kill" step (it runs twice) for each user.

The web page should now finish loading.

Jamie - are you able to make any suggestions as to how we can get over this 
problem

Regards
Martyn
