This may or may not work without modifications, depending on your
disk+quota setup.

You don't need to modify the program itself after RH 8.0.  The modifications
were needed for RH 6/7.

Good.

Yes, you'll need something like:

$conf['server']['driver'] = 'localhost';

using either localhost, command, or what ever (depending on your version).

No, don't add that to your configuration.  That is phpdoc code, and not
part of the configuration.
