I ran into a little problem today and wanted to warn everyone else.
Upgrading the "quota" package will overwrite /etc/quotagrpadmins and
/etc/quotatab. /etc/warnquota.conf is unaffected.
I ran up2date today and updated a long list of packages. This afternoon
I receive an email from warnquota:
warnquota: Administrator for a group PUBL not found. Cancelling mail.
upon checking the /etc/quotagrpadmins file, I see it is empty except for:
users: root
mygroup: chief
and has a date stamp of Oct. 13th, 2005, as does /etc/quotatab (which
has incorrect information as well).
I downgraded from quota-3.10-8 (new today) to quota-3.10-7 (which I
assume I was running previously) and copied my "real"
/etc/quotagrpadmins file back in place. I then ran up2date again, and
confirmed that upgrading to quota-3.10-8 overwrote /etc/quotagrpadmins
and /etc/quotatab, and DID NOT save any copies as rpmsave. I can
confirm it was working properly before the upgrade.
