See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge There are a few ways to go about this: 1) # chmod -x /usr/bin/quota This prevents quota from running. It's also a self documenting flag in that a future system manager who tries to run /etc/quota will get the "can not execute" error message. 2) # chmod -x /usr/bin/quote /etc/edquota This appears to turn quota's completely off (which is what I suspect the vast majority of people want) and not only speeds up the login process, but you don't get any annoying messages. 3) # mv /usr/bin/quota /usr/bin/quota_check ; cp /bin/true /usr/bin/quota This will still make the login program do the quota-check, but at least it goes by very very quickly now (as opposed to actualy checking every single NFS mount with quota, and so on). Then, just run quota_check whenever you want. 4) Remove the DiskQuota product ("swremove DiskQuota"). This will still allow you to keep using quotas, as long as the NFS server still has quota enabled, and is exporting the home directory filesystems with all the quotas enabled. Watch out though, since this deletes /usr/bin/quota. So make a copy before removing the package, if you still want to have the ability to do "quota -v", etc..
