No. rc.log shows only the three lines.

It was not possible to activate the quota with tunefs. This is because I 
use a kernel with "#INSECURE". Now I have a kernel with 'INSECURE'. Now 
you can activate the quota with tunefs. rc.log now looks like 
this:

[running /etc/rc.d/quota]
Checking quotas:quotacheck: filesystem / has quotas already turned on

Question: Can I use QUOTA2 with a '#INSECURE' kernel?

Is it further necessary to run '/etc/rc.d/quota' at boot or to use the 
userquota statement in the fstab?

Thank you for your efforts.
