    hello,

    trying to get a fileserver up and running although when i do "yum install quota" it doesn't seem to install. do i need to install the quota package? if so where? i thought i installed the quota package by going to applications->add/remove software it even says that the i386 package is installed. any help would be appreciated thank you. note my errors below when i try to run quotacheck -avugm and quotaon -avug. i am in super user mode too.

    quota is already installed.
    What's the output of
    Code:
    updatedb
    locate quotacheck
    locate quotaon
    ?
    What's the output of
    Code:
    echo $PATH
    ?

    umm

    Hello Falko,

    here is the output you requested. how do you uncompress the .gz file? is it just
    tar -xvvzf quotacheck.8.gz? do i have to be in that directory?

    [root@localhost kyd]# updatedb
    [root@localhost kyd]# locate quotacheck
    /sbin/quotacheck
    /usr/share/man/man8/quotacheck.8.gz
    [root@localhost kyd]# locate quotaon
    /sbin/quotaon
    /usr/share/man/man8/quotaon.8.gz
    [root@localhost kyd]# echo $PATH
    /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/kyd/bin
    [root@localhost kyd]#

    Don't uncompress it, it's just the man page.

    quotacheck and quotaon exist on your system, they are in /sbin, but /sbin is not in your PATH.

    What's in /etc/profiles?

    Hello Falko,

    thanks for the help. below is the output you requested of etc/profile
    i also found a profile.d directory did you want the contents of that as well?

    # /etc/profile

    # System wide environment and startup programs, for login setup
    # Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc

    pathmunge () {
    if ! echo $PATH | /bin/egrep -q "(^|:)$1($|:)" ; then
    if [ "$2" = "after" ] ; then
    PATH=$PATH:$1
    else
    PATH=$1:$PATH
    fi
    fi
    }

    # ksh workaround
    if [ -z "$EUID" -a -x /usr/bin/id ]; then
    EUID=`id -u`
    UID=`id -ru`
    fi

    # Path manipulation
    if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then
    pathmunge /sbin
    pathmunge /usr/sbin
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
    fi

    # No core files by default
    ulimit -S -c 0 > /dev/null 2>&1

    if [ -x /usr/bin/id ]; then
    USER="`id -un`"
    LOGNAME=$USER
    MAIL="/var/spool/mail/$USER"
    fi

    HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
    HISTSIZE=1000

    if [ -z "$INPUTRC" -a ! -f "$HOME/.inputrc" ]; then
    INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
    fi

    export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC

    for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
    if [ -r "$i" ]; then
    . $i
    fi
    done

    unset i
    unset pathmunge

    Change
    Code:
    export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC
    to

    Code:
    PATH=${PATH}:/sbin
    export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC
    in /etc/profile. The log out and log in again, and
    Code:
    which quotacheck
    and
    Code:
    which quotaon
    should show results.

    Then run
    Code:
    /sbin/quotacheck -avugm
    /sbin/quotaon -avug
