We can only set the quota at the top level then?  Am I understanding this
correctly, as I can't set individual quotas for nested ZFS filesystems?

Yes, you have an individual ZFS filesystem for each user.  That's why
the ability to fire scripts as users connect would be great - you
could create the ZFS filesystem automatically the first time they
connect.  For now you would have to create a filesystem manually for
each user (or script it somehow).

ZFS pools can inherit permissions from the parent too, so if you set a
quota on the main 'users' pool, each individual user will get a
filesystem with a quota ready set.

Regarding autohomes, I've no idea I'm afraid.  I know of it, but
haven't gotten to that stage of our testing yet.  You can probably
find a guide or two if you google it.

And no, I've no idea how to move /export/home.  We're not planning to
mix Solaris and Windows users at all here, our Windows users will be
given a completely separate area.
