     Thanks to the following people for their instantaneous replies:

          Denise Simon
          Richard Bemrose
          Piotr Bienias
          Dale Inman
          Dr. Tom Blinn
          John P Speno
          Stephen LaBelle

     My original question is that I saw the following message:

          Chk_bf_quota: user quota underflow for user 1018 on fileset /

     Many of them told me that it is safe to ignore these error messages. This message will appear if having AdvFS of the root file
system.

     The recommendation from Dale Inman was not to run AdvFS on / and /usr, but only use it on the application file systems.

     Denise Simon provided a solution to fix this:

     1. Set quota option on in the /sys/conf/HOSTNAME file (option QUOTA)

     2. Using rcmgr set quota option to yes
           #/usr/sbin/rcmgr set QUOTA_CONFIG yes

     3. Edit the /etc/fstab file and add quotas to the fileset so it is mounted with quotas. You
         should do this even if you're not using quotas.
        (dmn_users#users /usr/users advfs rw,userquota,groupquota 0 0)

     4. umount and mount the fileset for changes to occur

     5. quotacheck -v /usr/users (or whatever your fileset is)
