[Samba] Set quota per user

[Stefanos Karasavvidis]

204800 / 1024 KBytes = 200MB
this is the soft limit. The hard limit is the second number (250MB in 
this case)
This assumes a block size of 1024 Bytes (1KB). The exact numbers may be 
wrong but you get the picture.

You should try to google your way out. Look for example at

for more detailed isntructions for suse
