for a 7+ box, mini-howto is your friend:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Quota

(summary:

add 'usrquota' and/or 'grpquota' to /etc/fstab file-system entries

reboot to get them to take effct, unless you like 'mount -oremount,usrquota' commands.

execute 'quotacheck -cmauvg' to create starting quota files

make sure 'quotaon -uavg' gets executed at boot-up (should be done via /etc/rc.sysinit already).

Periodically run 'quotacheck -auvg'.

Use 'edquota' and 'setquota' to make your quota levels.)

Hope this helps.

(Sorry for the brief post, not having a happy afternoon).

Hi,

edit smb.conf

in [global] section , put this command.

deadtime = 200

if the client is inactive for 300 seconds samba will terminate its connection. And client will have to reconnect.

Hi,

If you have enabled domain logon in samba. you can use this share option for your purpose.

[home]
revalidate = yes

Restart samba.

In my previous thread the actual units is in minutes not seconds. sorry for the mistake.
