From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: repquota displays all information for all sers, even if a normal user runs it. That is, "repquota -a" shows an identical report for both root and any other user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): quota-3.06-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH 8.0 2.Enable quotas 3.Create two users 4.Create limits for both users 5.Login as each user 6.Create files to exceed quota 7.As either user or both, run "/usr/sbin/repquota -a" Actual Results: [root@station34 junk]# rpm -qa | grep quota quota-3.06-5 [root@station34 junk]# uname -a Linux station34.example.com 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@station34 junk]# repquota -a *** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hda5 Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root -- 20 0 0 3 0 0 filehog -+ 350 0 0 70 60 100 6days diskhog +- 20 10 20 6days 98 0 0 [root@station34 junk]# su - filehog [filehog@station34 filehog]$ set | grep UID EUID=500 UID=500 [filehog@station34 filehog]$ /usr/sbin/repquota -a *** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hda5 Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root -- 20 0 0 3 0 0 filehog -+ 351 0 0 71 60 100 6days diskhog +- 20 10 20 6days 98 0 0 Expected Results: The repquota man page says "Only the super-user may view quotas which are not their own." So I would have expected repquota to limit output to the data for the user that ran it, unless that user was root. Additional info:
What are the permissions of the [a]quota.user and/or [a]quota.group at the base of the /dev/hda5 file system?

Seems to be kernel
Is this still an issue with our errata kernels?
No response, closing. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
