Users and Groups module/Quotas module

[Anand A. <we...@an...>]

Hi.  I have just installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 4.62 and installed =
Webmin 0.990 on top of that.  I can't get the new users quotas feature =
to work.  Here is the list in order of what I have done to the computer:

1. Installed FreeBSD 4.62.  I have two partitions - one for swap, one =
for / (I know it's ugly).
2. Installed various FreeBSD packages.
3. Installed Webmin from the tarball on webmin.com.
4. Recompiled the system kernel with "options QUOTAS" to enable quota =
support.
5. Enabled quotas on the / partition.
6. Set up new user quotas in the webmin quotas module.  (I set both hard =
and soft quotas for both files and blocks.)
7. Went to the webmin users and groups module and created a new user.  I =
made sure "Create user in other modules" was enabled.

After these steps, the new user is listed in the quotas module, but has =
quotas set to unlimited.  I have not modified any of the scripts or =
settings for anything from the default install.  Please give me a =
heads-up as to what's happening here.

Thanks.

One question that might help solve this - can you edit the quotas of users
normally in the quotas module?

Yes, and after being set in the quotas module, they take effect and work as
they should.

Ok, I see the cause of this .. webmin is calling the edquota command
to set the new user's quotas before it is converted to /etc/master.passwd
file to /etc/passwd . This will be fixed in the next release, due very soon ..
or I can send you an updated module if you like?
