[lug] Samba: share size?

[Warren Sanders]

The best way to do this would be to set your quotas up for linux users.  For Samba you can trick the user into thinking they only have so 
much space but one can still use more than allowed.

See http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#maxdisksize
