Hello managers,
Well I got no responses from this list. I submitted the question
to Digital support (via DSNlink) and their response was that
dxaccounts has never been set up to give default quotas to newly
created accounts.
More recently, I've discovered that the dxaccounts GUI sometimes
does, and sometimes does not, "automatically" create quotas with
the newly created accounts. I leave the GUI running most of
the day in order to create new accounts AND modify existing accounts
intermittently as the need arises. I'm guessing that what may
be happening is that somehow dxaccounts "remembers" someone's quotas
(from some already-existing users that I previously pulled up
to modify) and just creates quota along with some -but not all-
newly created users.
That's purely a guess on my part. However, I am quite sure that
this IS HAPPENING -- I've got 2500+ accounts on my system, and it's
growing daily. When I get a stack of new account applications and
then create several new users in succession, some end up with quota
and some don't. I'll attempt to persue the problem with Digital
Support. Perhaps one day I'll be able to post the answer to my
problem. My original post is below.

Hello Managers,
Is there a "switch" that causes dxaccounts (DU 4.0B) to automatically
set default quotas for newly created user accounts? Until recently,
dxaccounts created new accounts on my system WITH default quotas
automatically, but now, after creating each account, I have to go back
and do the "edquota -p proto_guy new_guy" command for each new account.
Anybody got any ideas about what I accidentally switched off, deleted,
reset, etc. ??? I'll summarize. Thanks in advance.
