samba - Sep 2001 - newbie administration

Greetings

I am  a newbie samba administrator for a student lab. Unfortunately we have a
very limited resources so I need to find a way to limit and monitor user space
usage, time logged on and number of terminals logged on.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

There are two things you can do: 
For disk usage: Install (and administer) quotas on your file-systems. 

For times logged on:  Configure --with-utmp and set 'utmp = yes' to
enable utmp reporting 
of user activity.  This can be reported via the unix tools 'last' and
'w'.  

Hope this gives you a start,
