+	<title>default_quota</title>
+
+	<para>
+	This module allows the default quota values, in the windows explorer GUI, to be stored on a Samba-3 server.
+	The challenge is that linux filesystems only store quotas for users and groups, but no default quotas.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	Samba returns NO_LIMIT as the default quotas by default and refuses to update them. With this module you 
+	can store the default quotas that are reported to a windows client, in the quota record of a user. By
+	default the root user is taken because quota limits for root are typically not enforced.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	This module takes 2 parametric entries in the &mb.conf; file.  The default prefix for each is the
+	<quote>default_quota</quote>. This can be overwrittem when you load the module in the <emphasis>vfs
+	modules</emphasis> parameter like this:
+<screen>
+vfs modules = default_quota:myprefix)
+</screen>
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	The parametric entries that may be specified for the default_quotas module are:

+			This parameter takes a integer argument that specifies the uid of the quota record that will be 
+			used for storing the default user quotas.
+			</para>
+

+			reported for the user record, or if the value <constant>NO_LIMIT</constant> should be reported to 
+			the windows client for the user specified by the <parameter>prefix:uid</parameter> parameter.

+
+			<para>
