My DA says that a new unused site 25+ mbs uses. Is this correct, or is there something wrong with the quota's?
 
Have you ever deleted any users from the system before? Linux/Unix use UIDs to identify users, and they can get reused...

Or, perhaps you've untarred a tarball somewhere on your system (either before or after you created the new user) which had files in it owned by the same UID your new site user uses.

try this:

# find / -user username

replacing username with the name of the new user.

It will give you a list of all the files owned by that username.

Hey,

Since it's a new user, it could be that DA hasn't run the first tally yet.

If it was a user you created today, wait til tomorrow and see if the totals look right.

If you created the user a few days ago then it's probably something else.

I did quotacheck, now it says 8mb. But it still looks a lot to me. There is nothing on it.
