Operating Systems Solaris A strange user appears in my quotas and I can't find it in my system Post 302280745 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 27th of January 2009 01:41:26 PM

Did you have a user id = 833 in the past? That would be my answer.

File information utilities, like quota, use existing system files like passwd to display user id's. If the user has been completely removed, you get the user number in the display.

RQUOTAD(8)						      System Manager's Manual							RQUOTAD(8)

NAME
rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server SYNOPSIS
rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI ] [ -p port ] DESCRIPTION
rquotad is an rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of a local filesystem which is mounted by a remote machine over the NFS. It also allows setting of quotas on NFS mounted filesystem (if configured during compilation and allowed by a command line option -S). The results are used by quota(1) to display user quotas for remote filesystems and by edquota(8) to set quotas on remote filesystems. rquotad daemon uses tcp-wrappers library (under service name rquotad) which allows you to specify hosts allowed/disallowed to use the daemon (see hosts.allow(5) manpage for more information). The rquotad daemon is normally started at boot time from the system startup scripts. OPTIONS
-V, --version Shows version of quota tools. -s, --no-setquota Don't allow setting of quotas (default). This option is available only if utilities were compiled with the rpcsetquota option. -S, --setquota Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utilities were compiled with the rpcsetquota option. -F, --foreground Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes). -I, --autofs Do not ignore autofs mountpoints. -p port, --port port Listen on alternate port port. -x path, --xtab path Set an alternative file with NFSD export table. This file is used to determine pseudoroot of NFSv4 exports. The pseudoroot is then prepended to each relative path (i.e. a path not beginning by '/') received in a quota RPC request. FILES
aquota.user or aquota.group quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems) quota.user or quota.group quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems) /etc/mtab default filesystems SEE ALSO
quota(1), rpc(3), nfs(5), services(5), inetd(8) RQUOTAD(8)
