A partial answer comes from Digital Support from 3.0 days (Sept 1994).
For DSN link folks the document is:
[DEC OSF/1] Problems Starting quotas on DEC OSF/1 V3.0 With ADVFS
/sbin/init.d/vquota needs to be generated, as well as a new /etc/rc.config
variable VQUOTA_CONFIG via 'rcmgr set VQUOTA_CONFIG yes'.
#/usr/sbin/rcmgr set VQUOTA_CONFIG yes
#ln -s /sbin/init.d/vquota /sbin/rc3.d/S02vquota
The vquota script is essentially nothing more than quota with all of the
"v" commands in place (Note: The "v" commands are in /usr/sbin not /sbin).
But this did not address the fact that in the 3.2C documentation (and
reality) that this all was not necessary.
Other than that, this whole thing is apparently being (was?) re-written
again for 4.X. [I just got a box I can install 4.0b on so I'll see
shortly.]
