 We need to implement some sort of disk-quota system whereby users
going over their limit will not be allowed to create any more files
under their home directories. They should be able to read them and 
delete them, naturally, to be able to go below the ceiling again. 
We (will be, very soon) running SR 10.2 on all the nodes. Now we only
have it set up on one for testing.

 One way to do this is with ACL's. But the more I read about acls the 
more confusing this becomes. Especially because files within
directories can inherit the acl in 3 diffrent ways: BSD4.3 way, sys5
way and the aegis way. It does not too difficult to take away the 
files from the user, but to give 'em back with the same protection is
a little harder. 

 My question: is there any easier way?
