edquota on user folders on OD replica’s.

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. 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
