Lines: 16 Keywords: remove old users quota 4.2 Using the quota package under 4.2 BSD, can sometime tell me how (or if it is possible) to remove old users's uids from the master quota file for each file system? Since our machine in used mostly for educational and research use, many accounts are only temporary. However, when doing something like a repquota /usr, I am still forced to see the quota report for uids whose accounts have been removed. I'd really like to be able to remove these, and so far the only way I can think of is to remove the quota file from each filesystem and rebuild it from scratch. This would help to eliminate the accounts which were removed a long time a go, but accounts added and then removed after this would still appear, and I'd be back to my original problem. Any help would be appreciated. Jeff White Drexel University - ECE Dept. seismo!presby!drexel!jeff
