The system administrators had quotas enabled (5MB per student) to prevent students gobbling up disk space.

As a user and an admin I never used this and, while I thought it was interesting, just figured that the users would sort it out amongst themselves. Which they mostly did. > > So, anyone ever use this feature? > > David > >
