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. ... Does NetApp have an official program that does this? Possibly a program that someone has contributed?
In the "Tools & Utilities" section of the NOW (http://now.netapp.com) site, in the "Toolshed" area, you'll find a "quota_tools" entry.
That package contains several utilities for quotas, including a perl script named netapp_quota_report that will talk to a NetApp Filer via rsh, get a quota report, and construct an HTML web page. You can specify a quota limit, and people over that limit will be highlighted in red.
*NOTE* - Be sure to use the "-ontap 5" option to netapp_quota_report, if you are using ONTAP 5.0 or higher.
The quota_tools package also contains some scripts for sending mail when quotas are exceded. The package was written by Ed Finch (efinch@vais.net).

Thanks for the reference. One of our engineers was proposing to do something similar with rsh every 4 hours or so and put the results into a database. We'd then display the results of the database on demand.
Problem is, it's not accurate as of now. 4 hours ago, things were fine. Now a customer got core-bombed and that's their mail program is timing out. We don't want it to be escalated to root level.
Thanks again.
