edquota (quota's) on user folders on OD replica's

[zep]

Hi,

My setting: We are in a school board (multiple schools) environment. We have servers setup in different locations with a centralized OD (ldap) all connected via fiber. The remote servers are set as replicas, all servers are 10.4.11. Depending on the users location, we have a backup folder setup for that user on a specific server(one of the replicas). User will access via AFP. Quota’s on the volume are on and working.

This is my problem;

In terminal:
I set a quota for user1 (edquota –u user1) and works
I copy to 2nd user and works (edquota –up user1 user2)
If I try to add more that 10, the quota’S don’t stick (quota –v user10 shows soft and hard at 0)

IF I use, as found on the web, edquota -p user1 `awk -F: ‘$3 > 1001 {print $1}’ /etc/passwd`, I get nothing since the passwd file is local, not the wanted uid's.

I have about 1000 user folders per server to set quota’s on. Any idea on what file or script I could use? I have a csv file with users uid space separated or in bbedit space separated.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Andre

That "10 users and it quits working" reeks of the 10-client license version of Mac OS X Server. Are the servers running the 10-client license, or the unlimited client license for Mac OS X Server?

It's unlimited. If you try and do more or past more than 10 at a time in terminal it doesnt stick.
