Hi all,
I've looked about and I can't find anything
on Quotas and SAMBA with FreeBSD.
The FreeBSD manual says that I can enable
quotas and how to go about it, but I get the
feeling this is just for shell accounts. Quotas
would be useless in my situation if they did
not work with SAMBA as well.
All my SAMBA users have shell accounts as
well and only save to their home directory -
either with ftp or SAMBA.
I'd like to RTFM to find out more but,
a) Is it possible? Anyone got it working?
b) Any pointers on docs I could read?
Thanks,
Eddie.

Actually they work at a level ``below'' samba, so they will apply to all samba nfs, afs or whatever-fs users as well. What will not work well is the warning mechanism, which sends text message to the ``logged-in user's tty'' to tell them they are running low on quota. As a result, they run out of space, but df reports there is space left... causing puzzlement. This was known to annoy NFS users in a previous life (:-)) --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
