AIX PS/2 seems to have disk space quotas that can be set for individual users. I have learned that I am supposed to create a file named quota to the root of every disk partition, but I am baffeled by no indication of what to write to that file. Somehow it should indicate those users that have a quota on that particular partition and the size of that quota. Please send me an example of a quota file and perhaps even some explanations. Another problem: I need to initialize my moden on tty line differently from the default. I tried to fgrep the strings from all files, but no luck. I am prepared to patch the code, if only I can find what file to patch. So, in what file is the code that sends Hayes commands to the modem? Or, better yet, perhaps there is a text file from which those commands are read? If you plan to say RTFM, please be sure you can tell me which FM to R. -- Tapio Lehtonen PHONE + 358 0 7084206 Dept.

The quota file is a data file (i.e. it's not freeform text -- it's created by a program). The following should get you mostly set up. Most of this is from memory, so consult the man pages if it doesn't work: 1) First you need a quota file so that quotaon won't complain. To do this, just touch the file quotas in the root directory of the filesystem you want to activate quotas in. i.e. touch /u/quotas Do this for every filesystem you want quotas on. 2) Now all users will have no quotas (i.e. unlimited). You should change quotas for all users that you want to have quotas on each filesystem. Do this with edquota. edquota will place you into vi (unless your EDITOR environment variable is set, in which case it will place you into that editor). There will be one line per filesystem that has quotas enabled: fs /u blocks (soft = 0, hard = 0) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0) You should change the soft and hard limits for both blocks and inodes. Simply change these in the editor, then save the file. After saving the file, the quota will be updated in the filesystem. 3) Now you need to check the quotas to fill in the quotas file. Do this with quotacheck: quotacheck /u It will print out various information about each user (basically what their current usage is). 4) You can now see what the usage with repquota: repquota /u This will show everyone's usage, along with their quotas. 5) To enable quotas to be checked, type: quotaon /u 6) To turn off quotas, type: quotaoff /u >Tapio Lehtonen PHONE + 358 0 7084206 Hope that helps.

I suggest writing a program to configure the modem the way you want it and then exec getty (and tell getty NOT to configure the modem). What I have done is to manually configure the modem and then configure it to reload my values on DTR drop. This way there is no need to reprogram the modem at each getty start-up. -- Kevin Kleinfelter @ Dun and Bradstreet Software, Inc (404) 239-2347 {emory,gatech}!nanovx!msa3b!kevin "Don't hold your finger on the button if the motor ain't goin' roundy-roundy."
