We don't have a script/binary for this yet, but you can get all the quota information for trees, users, and groups out of SNMP without root privledges or needed to be on a trusted host.
Our plan is to provide a script/binary for our users that uses SNMP to check any user or tree quota. If and when we get around to writing it, we'll post it for everyone's benefit. =)

From "James Deibele" on Wed, 20 Oct 1999 10:45:08 PDT:
We would like our support people to be able to do real-time quota verification for customers, meaning that support person A is able to tell customer B that they're using 9.688MB of their 10MB quota.
Having gone that far, we would actually really like to have a web page for our non-UNIX customers to check their usage. We can't use the normal /usr/ucb/quota program that comes with Solaris because it requires you to run as root to check someone else's usage. If we try to use suexec or cgiwrap to run programs as the user, we will have to make a copy of the script for every customer. This is sub-optimal.
So what we want is a program (Solaris preferred, Linux or NT might be acceptable) that will allow any user to check the total usage for any other user.
Seems like this would have come up with other people using NetApps extensively.
Does NetApp have an official program that does this? Possibly a program that someone has contributed?
