I don't remember any bug fixes, but I do know of one bug... If you update a disk quota for a person who is logged in (or has a process running with his/her uid) the machine will crash with a panic in the quota routines. So, generally, set quotas when the machine is in single. If you change them while it is up multiuser (new users is an exception, chances of them being logged in is minimal) you can crash things. -- Dave Cohrs @ wisconsin ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax,uwm-evax}!uwvax!dave dave@wisc-rsch.arpa
