[Samba] quota support on AIX

[Tsutomu Miyashita]

Hellow, members

I found this problem was probably caused by OS bug.
The reason why SAMBA could not get quota infomation was because
the quotactl system call used by smbd/quotas.c returned a error
of "operation not permitted".
AIX's quotactl returns error if uid and euid are not the same.
I reported this problem to IBM and the patch against this problem will
be released. I will report about this patch ID to this ML.
If you want to use SAMBA quota function on AIX, you can get this on
SAMBA 1.x. That is because both uid and euid are the user ID of file
access on SAMBA 1.x's smbd, not root.
