In smb.conf(5) for get quota command parameter, 

-----
    This script should print one line as output with spaces between the
    arguments. The arguments are:

    o Arg 1 - quota flags (0 = no quotas, 1 = quotas enabled, 2 =
              quotas enabled and enforced)
-----

is invalid. In lib/sysquotas.c, 

-----
222 DEBUG (3, ("Read output from get_quota, \"%s\"\n", line));
223
224 /* we need to deal with long long unsigned here, if supported */
225
226 dp->qflags = (enum SMB_QUOTA_TYPE)strtoul(line,&p2, 10);
227 p = p2;
-----

this shows the 1st argument of "get quota command" should be one of SMB_QUOTA_TYPE, not "quota flags".

I'm not sure about that. Metze that patch is initially from you says git, what do you think about the proposed fix ? :-)

I think the enum cast is not quite right here, uint32 would fit better.

the wrong cast is fixed with 4.0 and the docu is also improved now, so I close this one now, hope things are okay now,
