samba - Apr 2002 - dfree command

Hi

I'm using SuSE-Linux 7.3, Kernel 2.4.18 with samba 2.2.3a and XFS with
quotas
The problem is the quotas won't be displayed in Samba.
So I've tried to write my own dfree command and add it
in smb.conf.

dfree.sh:
#!/bin/sh
used_space=`/usr/bin/quota -u $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'`
quota_space=`/usr/bin/quota -u $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}'`
used_files=`/usr/bin/quota -u $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}'`
quota_files=`/usr/bin/quota -u $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $7}'`
if [ "$used_files" == "$quota_files" ];
    then used_space=$quota_space
    fi
free_space=`expr $quota_space - $used_space`
echo "$quota_space $free_space"

First problem:
Why is dfree command run as root and not as user?
I have to use dfree command = /../dfree.sh %U
to get my skript work

Second Problem:
samba should send the path to my script.
But it only sends "." to it. Whats going wrong ?

Third Problem:
Why can't I use %u instead of %U?
I have a some shares with the
force user option, but my script gets
the real username.

Thanks for your help,

Hi!
I'd like to use the "dfree command" option of samba because the
amount of free space shown by the windows client is very far from the real
values.
I've written a quite similar script to the one in man smb.conf to calculate
the free space left in a share. Here is it:

#$/bin/bash
df -k | awk 'BEGIN{total=0; free=0} {if ($6~/\/myshare*/) {total+=$2;
free+=$4}} END {printf total" "free}'

I have a couple of hard drives mounted under /myshare, and I want to summarize
the free spaces on them.
The script works when started from the prompt.
In the smb.conf I have the line: dfree command = /usr/local/samba/dfree #here is
the script
In the smbd log these messages appeared:

[2003/07/25 17:26:13, 3] smbd/dfree.c:disk_free(92)
   disk_free: Running command /usr/local/samba/dfree .
[2003/07/25 17:26:13, 3] smbd/dfree.c:disk_free(121)
   disk_free: sys_popen() failed for command /usr/local/samba/dfree .. Error was
: No child processes

Do you have any ideas to solve this?

Thanks 
Tom
