If you think you can't then someone here at SerNet can review that also, we
have an AIX machine for Samba development. Just the order of patches matters
obviously here.

HP-UX is what sysquotas_4A is for and there is no other platform anymore using
the old quota code here.

this will be addressed soon in a 2nd patchset, which will implement sysquotas
for Solaris also, which is after this patch set the last system which is still
using the old quota code.  I have the patch removing oldquotas.c and friends
already waiting here. It's really time that we get rid of the legacy quota
interface and have clean sysquotas generally in Samba.
