So you are duplicating the SAMBA/LDAP users with a local account with
the same username and password?

My guess would be then you would have default quotas set for local
users, run a batch import of some sort and pull in the local accounts.
Then run the bulk add scripts for SAMBA/LDAP with the tweak of edquota
-p added to it and pull in the same users?

If this works let me know.  I never tested quotas with SAMBA/LDAP and
that will be a must have on my production setup for next year.

Sure would be nice to have something like the Webmin tool that syncs
SAMBA and Unix accounts.  Could the Webmin LDAP module be tweaked with a
sync with Unix user accounts?  That sure could simplify things.  Except
for the person who does the modification :-)
