Samba and quota on Win95-client... (Solution!)

I got it to work! GREAT! Many thanks to Charlie!

The solution is quite simple and small, so I'll just put it in here:

---

...my smb.conf...

workgroup = WORKGROUP
message command = /bin/mail -s 'message from %f on %m' crj < %s; rm %s
server string = Samba-server at %h
comment = Linux-share...
os level = 2
domain logons = yes
logon script = scripts\%U.bat
security = user
map archive = no
load printers = yes
writeable = false
browsable = no
guest ok = no
dfree command = /usr/local/lib/samba/bin/dfree %U
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This actually did the trick...

...the shellscript (make sure the ownership and permissions are ok)...

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root           89 Aug  8 01:00 dfree*

...looks like this (make sure you put in all the paths):

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/quota $1 | /usr/bin/tail -1 | /usr/bin/awk '{print $4" "$4-$2}'

---

That's all!!!

Keep up the good work!

Rudo...
