are your users home directories NFS mounted?
If so, there is a known issue f htey have a history file on the NFS mounted directory.
Move it off onto a local file system.

Hi,

The othe way to do it is to set the HISTFILE variable in the profiles or in /etc/profile to something local, ie :

export HISTFILE=/tmp/.sh_history

you are examine and fix the things.
But now to make users log in

# chmod 000 /usr/sbin/edquota
# chmod 000 /usr/bin/quota

This should skip the quota checking process

Thanks

hi T G Manikandan,

It is Ok when skipping to check quota , but I think it is not the best solution, do you have other suggestions? thx.

you can also use the noquota option when mounting nfs file systems.

check the man pages of mount_nfs.

mount -F nfs -o noquota :/home /home

Thanks
