We do exactly this in our area. Using the linux quota commands enforce
quotas for Samba as well. We wrote a pam_exec script to set default quotas
for people on our server. We also wrote a quota script (specified in
smb.conf) to return the quotas to Windows so that it shows their quota and
not the entire disk when they look at the mount point in detail view.
