Disk Quotas

I have two OS X Server 10.4.9 file servers that are currently running AFP and SMB. We have for the past couple of years been successfully enforcing disk quotas on our AFP users. However, we have not been able to enforce quotas on our SMB users. Over the past week I have had the time to trouble shoot this issue more and upon discussing this with Apple tech support I was told that there is a bug in SMB quotas and they are not functional as of 10.4.x. Later this week I spoke with another engineer outside of Apple and was told flat out that OS X Server does not support quotas on anything but AFP. I verified this myself by creating a test user and trying to copy a file that exceeded the quota to that user's home directory. While AFP did not allow the copy to take place, SMB, FTP, and even SSH all allow that file to be copied to that user's home directory. So, if this is the case, what is everyone else doing about enforcing quotas on SMB users? We are an Active Directory integrated environment so not being able to enforce SMB quotas in a big deal for us. I am open to alternative solutions or even better, getting the SMB quotas to enforce. I would appreciate any help or ideas!
Thanks,
Mike
