- I assume you are talking about Quotas.tar.Z, written by the godlike
- Marc Majka (Hi Marc). :-) I believe it is still on sonata in
- /pub/next/1.0-release/sources.
- Let me add that I use it on our systems here every night, including
- tons and tons of kludgey hacks to do all sorts of stuff like
- compressing directories for people who are over (instead of
- disabling their accounts), etc.... it works absolutely fine, and we
- have 1770 user accounts at last count (netinfo of course).
