Nathan,
Thanks for the quick replies. I'll be sure to check
out the README on the quotas, as well as try to grasp
a basic understanding of how to use the command-line
quota tools (Webmin doesn't work well with XFS Quotas
. . . maybe I should hack it). Thanks again for all
your help . . . I really appreciate it.
