Return of quota-support soon ?

[David Krovich]

	Is this discussion about making it so that Samba handle quotas itself, 
independent of the OS it is running on?

	The reason I ask, is that I have setup samba on Solaris 2.5.1 machine.
I'm getting ready to use PDC samba to take the place of our current NT Server.
My plan is to use Solaris to handle user quotas, and then let users get to their 
home directories via Samba.  Samba will "abide" by those quotas, won't it?
