I just did a simple test and it looks like "edquota -t" isn't making the appropriate quotactl call to inform the kernel that the grace period has changed. As a work around, rebooting after running "edquota -t" should be get things right. Note: the grace periods are on a per-file system basis, not a per-user basis. Running "edquota -t -u myname" is exactly the same as running "edquota -t". Edquota ignores the user name in this case. I'm on my way out the door right now, but I'll take a better look at this later. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@minn.net "Go that way. Really fast. If something gets in your way, turn"
