I think /home/quota.group and /home/quota.user got  0 byted by something I did
in Webmin.  So it was probably a bug in Webmin, but as a result the Cobalt GUI
was broken since it relies on the Linux quota system.

Robert, I think that's what happened.  I've since become extremely comfortable
in Linux so I haven't made time to take another look at Webmin, but I just
wanted to share my experience so anyone deciding to use it could do so in an
informed manner.  I actually found it to be a very useful program and many cool
third parry modules have been added so it's probably a good tool for Linux
newbies to try out.  I still think there are Webmin functions that probably
won't work properly on a RaQ and actions taken in Webmin that won't be visible
to the Cobalt GUI, but I leave that as a reader exercise.
