strange quota problem - wrong UIDs



Hi,

recently I noticed, that we do have a problem with quota on some accounts.

Our students have nummeric usernames like 010203 and there accounts are generated "semiautomatically" by using the scriptfunktion of webmin.

Now a "repqouta -a" shows the current usage, but some accounts have compleatly different values if I try to change their quota with edquota.

e.g. the user with the name "0106322" anmd the ID 1093 from /etc/passwd looks like this:

repquota:
0106322 +- 101204 81920 163840 none 1 0 0

edquota:
Disk quotas for user 0106322 (uid 36050):
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
/dev/sda6 0 0 0 0 0 0

The strange thing is, that I do have users whith the right UID in ther quota settings and a nummeric username.

Any ideas, hints or tricks? What could be the problem and better, how to solve this?


Thanks and best regards
