Quota in the next release will be fixed to deal with this case. A new
heuristic has been added; the user will not be warned if:
1) They have not explicitly requested information on the locker; i.e, they
typed "quota" without an explicit "-f directory".
2) The locker is on AFS.
3) The locker was not attached with mode "w", meaning the locker was
attached read-write. This mode by default comes from the hesiod
information for the locker; most of the `public' lockers such as sipb
have the default mode set to `n', meaning that no authentication is
needed, and the locker can be mounted read-only. This can be overridden
in the attach command, however. So, quota would now not report the quota
on the sipb locker if it was attached with `attach sipb', but would
report it if it was attached with `attach -w sipb'.
This is admittedly not going to be perfect, but it should stop most of the
more visible occurences of this problem.
