Nope. Quotas work fine here. Win95 -> linux rh5.1/samba-1.9.18p7-2.
"There is insufficient free space on the drive" when hard quota is hit.
Are you sure you're exceeding the hard quota? Are you sure that the
user connects as the user, i.e. you're not writing files as "nobody"?

WinNT shouldn't make any difference. This is all linux kernel stuff.
