From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: The 'warnquota' utility is unmentioned in any of the (other than its own) manpages included with the quota RPM shipped with RedHat 8.0 Additionally, the quotacheck manpage mentions 'vertquota' which is unsupplied by this RPM. Additionally, the warnquota manpage does not include a good example /etc/crontab entry, nor is one (commented out) included in the default /etc/crontab. Such an entry would be highly recommended. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): quota-3.06-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Additional info: I'd include a useful sample crontab entry if I had the slightest idea of what a good sample entry would look like for this particular task. I know how to MAKE crontab entries, but I don't know what would be appropriate for warnquota!

my apologies for the delay. my current install is Fedora Core 5, updated fully. current install of quota is quota-3.13-1.2.2, which as you can see, still has the same issue. $ man quota | col -b | grep -C2 'SEE ALSO' /etc/mtab default filesystems SEE ALSO quotactl(2), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotacheck(8), quotaon(8), repquota(8) $ rpm -qf `man -aW warnquota` quota-3.13-1.2.2 also, the bugzilla javascript which normally fixes the version numbering of the release didn't change it or was not present when I selected Fedora Core, above, so I did the best I could, but it will need to be adjusted post-submission of this update.
quotacheck manpage mentions 'con-vertquota' which is supplied by this RPM. The bug about warnquota is still present in quota-3.15-3.fc9
I reported this bug upstream: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1894143&group_id=18136&atid=118136
Sorry for so late fix of that issue and thanks for reporting issue to the upstream. I got that maintainance of quota package about 1 month ago and had some other issues with higher priority. Fixed now in quota-3.15-4.fc9 (fixes missing warnquota and quota_nld pointers), closing RAWHIDE.
