"Just the server" seems to work nicely here for Solaris (and with Samba).
Should be same for Linux, and any other Unix for that matter.
The users get interesting messages about directories being full.
The only catch seems to be that you have to tell it to re-build its database
when you add a new user. I guess that could be done as a cron job to run
when the filesystem is not being caned by people.
The documentation says you should run quotacheck on a quiescent filesystem,
but it seems to work OK when it is simply "not very busy".
It probably works best if set up on the server that owns the disks because
the quotas get looked at at boot time, ie before NFS comes up.
Goodness knows what would happen if you ran it on the NFS client; man quota
(on an old RH system here) says it looks at things in /etc/fstab and does
work with NFS.
Cheers,
Jill.
