Disable Quota Netlink (quota_nld) The 'quota_nld' service provides notifications to users of disk space quota violations. It listens to the kernel via a netlink socket for disk quota violations and notifies the appropriate user of the violation using D-Bus or by sending a message to the terminal that the user has last accessed. The 'quota_nld' service can be disabled with the following command: '$ sudo systemctl disable quota_nld' If disk quotas are enforced on the local system, then the 'quota_nld' service likely provides useful functionality and should remain enabled. However, if disk quotas are not used or user notification of disk quota violation is not desired then there is no need to run this service. Fix: # # Disable quota_nld.service for all systemd targets # systemctl disable quota_nld.service # # Stop quota_nld.service if currently running # systemctl stop quota_nld.service oval:org.secpod.oval:def:31118 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:30395 SCAP Repo OVAL Definition 2015-11-13
