Hi all,
        we are running DEC Unix 3.2c with AdvFS & C2. From time to time
we have strange problem with user quotas:

User works from X-terminals (or PC X-term emulators) in the dxsession
environment. After end of his session still remain running dxconsole
(maybe incorrect logout or reset X-term emulator). And this process
consume all of user disk quota (!) :-(. In case of rechecking quotas
(vquotacheck ...) are quotas set to correct value, but in few seconds are
again on the top hard user limit :-((. Kill dxconsole helps, but this
can't be done by user (dxconsole is running SUID).

Any explanation, help or suggestion are welcome !

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Best regards,
