Thanks Alan and John. Actually I tested SLES7 with Samba 2.2.0 and Red Hat Linux for S/390 with Samba 2.2.1a-5 yesterday, but no problem occurred. The following description in the Samba web site might not be necessarily true....
http://us1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.5.html Quota problems on a Linux 2.4 kernel. ------------------------------------- Currently the quota interfaces have diverged between the Linus 2.4.x kernels and the Alan Cox 2.4.x kernels (the Alan Cox variants are shipped with RedHat). Running quota-enabled Samba compiled on an Alan Cox kernel works correctly on an Alan Cox kernel (the one shipped by default with RedHat 7.x) but fails on a Linus kernel. This is a mess, and hopefully Alan and Linus will sort it out soon. In the meantime we need to ship.....

Even if it were, there's no technical reason you couldn't use the Red Hat source including patches to build a kernel for SuSE. SuSE support might not like it a lot, but that's another matter. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Join the "Linux Support by Small Businesses" list at http://mail.computerdatasafe.com.au/mailman/listinfo/lssb
