[Samba] with-quotas

[Peter Hübschen]

I'm running samba-2.2.3, kernel 2.4.17 + xfs-patch and quota enabled on 
/home. I've compiled it with --with-quotas and everthing seems to work 
right.
If quota support from samba is enabled then in Windows Explorer the 
partition size is the soft quota limit and users get the right error 
message, that they don't have enough space, if they go over their limit. 
If you don't compile --with-quotas and you have quota enabled on your 
filesystem, you will get an error (under Windows) that you can't write 
to disk or something, so you have to guess if it is a right- or quota 
problem.

So it works for me
