Hi DU Admins
To reinforce Richard's search for a solution to quotas for
automounted user areas this is the information I sent him which
indicates to me that the problem is not with rquotad but with DU's
quota command:

Maybe what's needed is a patch for the quota command from Digital/Compaq
or a drop in replacement from elsewhere.
