/*
* This module allows the default quota values,
* in the windows explorer GUI, to be stored on a samba server.
* The problem is that linux filesystems only store quotas
* for users and groups, but no default quotas.
*
* Samba returns NO_LIMIT as the default quotas by default
* and refuses to update them.
*
* With this module you can store the default quotas that are reported to
* a windows client, in the quota record of a user. By default the root user
* is taken because quota limits for root are typically not enforced.
*
* This module takes 2 parametric parameters in smb.conf:
* (the default prefix for them is 'default_quota',
* it can be overwrittem when you load the module in
* the 'vfs modules' parameter like this:
* vfs modules = default_quota:myprefix)
*
* "<prefix>:uid" parameter takes a integer argument,
* it specifies the uid of the quota record, that will be taken for
* storing the default USER-quotas.
*
* - default value: '0' (for root user)
* - e.g.: default_quota:uid = 65534
*
* "<prefix>:uid nolimit" parameter takes a boolean argument,
* it specifies if we should report the stored default quota values,
* also for the user record, or if you should just report NO_LIMIT
* to the windows client for the user specified by the "<prefix>:uid" parameter.
*
* - default value: yes (that means to report NO_LIMIT)
* - e.g.: default_quota:uid nolimit = no
*
* "<prefix>:gid" parameter takes a integer argument,
* it's just like "<prefix>:uid" but for group quotas.
* (NOTE: group quotas are not supported from the windows explorer!)
*
* - default value: '0' (for root group)
* - e.g.: default_quota:gid = 65534
*
* "<prefix>:gid nolimit" parameter takes a boolean argument,
* it's just like "<prefix>:uid nolimit" but for group quotas.
* (NOTE: group quotas are not supported from the windows explorer!)
*
* - default value: yes (that means to report NO_LIMIT)
* - e.g.: default_quota:uid nolimit = no
