LDAP + quotas
To compare to a database concept, if the LDAP daemon had `triggers' and
could execute code that made quotactl(2) calls on the relavent filesystems,
on the relavent machines, when the quota values in the LDAP database changed
that would be effective. To determine current usage the LDAP daemon would
also have to use quotactl(2) to query the VFS though, unless current usage
simply was not provided as part of your LDAP schema.

what i ment was something alike, a daemon that would monitor the
activity in quota related system calls and update the quota file by
itself..
i was not completely serious about the solution but it would be a nice
idea, i know that quotas can not rely on any daemon as such, but a
helper daemon would 'help' in many cases.
