I've been running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1-R happily for near a year now (or since
it was released) and last week I decided to install quotas when I put in
a new disk...

Well..

I compiled them into the kernel - ok.
I set up quotas for users - ok.
I turned it all on in /etc/fstab - ok.

sometimes the quota works, sometimes it didn't..

one user managed to go 24 meg over their hard limit without a problem!
(and repquota showed them as only using 968k)..

If I however do a quotacheck -a, everything is updated and ok..

Does this mean I have to run quotacheck in a cron job??

Oh, and do I have to recompile all my binaries to make them work with the
quota system??

Thanks all in advance..

Regards,

Paul Reece.
