If a user goes over their quota, it keeps reporting they're over their quota until their web process is hupped...we even had a script (usrserv) that would let the user restart their process themselves (since it was owned by root). Using du in their home directory would show if they were REALLY over their quota (in our case, it was usually their apache log files putting them over the edge). I never quite understood the mechanism behind all this, but it worked. -Tenebrae. --- I'm not a sysadmin, but I play one on TV.
