It is how phk stated. I'll try and make it a bit clearer in the man page. And in the past, only pass numbers 0, 1 and 2 were supported. Around 2001 Poul-Henning changed it to support any passno up to INTMAX-1, and until recently quotacheck still only supported passnos 0 - 2. -- Mike Pritchard mpp @ FreeBSD.org "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison (1787) _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
