Okay.  So the code basically tries to find the login directory for the user
and match that to the quota output.  Worked well for older RH versions and/or
NFS mounts.  But, for RH 9 systems like yours, your login directory is
probably /home/testi where as the quota output is "/dev/Volume00/LogVol00"
instead of "/home" or "/" or whatever.

So basically, for RH 9 default setup, you need to edit the quota code and
change the reference to homedir to something that will work (like
"/dev/Volume00" or "/dev/Volume00/LogVol00").

I've not had time to update the web page yet to reflect this change.

No, not really.  But RH 9 is so different from RH 7, that some changes are
needed, and I've not had time to update the web page yet.
