Quota-problem

Hello,

I'm having some trouble with the quota's I've set on our HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800. Well not really with the quota's because I was able to set them and get them working without a problem but the problem resides somewhere with our AS/U (Advanced Server for HP9000 Release B.04.06.07 and RFC-NETBIOS Release B.04.10). I'm not able to get the quota's working under Windows. If a user would log in on the server to his homedirectory he is not able to put more than 5MB on his space. But if he logs in with a Windows pc (which is the normal procedure here) he can copy as much as he wants on the same homedirectory...

Anyone? Smilie

From this page:
Quote:
You enable disk quotas by setting the registry value UnixQuotas to 1. Disk quotas are turned off (0) by default.
So my guess is that you have this set to zero.

I've checked a few pc's and there is no pc which even has that registry value or the structure in the registry it requires (AdvancedServer/...)

Maybe you should look in the AS/U registry itself rather than looking at the client PC's registries. I have the uneasy feeling that you are not even aware of the existence of the AS/U registry. So I will point out the you must stop and restart the server for most registry changes to take effect.

Indeed, I thought you were talking about the client-pc's registry. The AS/U registry? But that is't located on a Windows-pc isn't it? I think you lost me there... The only place I know of where the AS/U is actually installed is on the Unix-server. I'm all really new to all of this Smilie If you don't mind could you point me out where to find the AS/U registry?
I'd like to apologize for my stupid questions, it's not that I haven't looked around but I really couldn't find it.
Thank you very much...

Read this book. Appendix A covers the registry.
