The cause is probably one or more remote NFS filesystems which
are slow in responding. Something like "df -k" might give a
hint as to which ones, if there is excessive delay before some
of the status lines are output.

HEllo,
I have a few machines with 2.5.1 HW4/97
after I login to Ultra (64 megs of mem, 2 GB disk)
It takes long time until i see motd;
i traced that out and I found that 'quota' program is very slowwww
can anybody help what should I do to make it faster ?

hmmm that filesystem is using quota but it's local, not NFS filesystem.
Anyway, it seems quota is now fast. (thanks to Satan). I still don't know
why it was so slow. but ok.
