Under the older version of quotas (aka Melbourne quotas) that came with pre-OSx4.1, these two features were incompatible since they both used the same location (pw_quota/pw_age) in the passwd structure to store information, one for # of quota warnings, the other for aging info. See below for extract from: BSD universe ATT universe struct passwd { struct passwd { char *pw_name; char *pw_name; char *pw_passwd; char *pw_passwd; int pw_uid; int pw_uid; int pw_gid; int pw_gid; int pw_quota; char *pw_age; char *pw_comment; char *pw_comment; char *pw_gecos; char *pw_gecos; char *pw_dir; char *pw_dir; char *pw_shell; char *pw_shell; }; }; Now under the `new` quota system (based on Sun's quota system), does there still exist an incompatability between these features? Any help/comments/suggestions would be appreciated. --curtis Curtis C.
