Subject: [PATCH] Quota netlink interface

  Hello,

  I've written a patch implementing quota netlink interface. Whenever some
event happens (like user exceeding softlimit), a message is sent to
userpace. Then, in userspace we can decide what to do with the message -
print it to console, show a dialog or whatever... I've also written a new
daemon that listens to netlink and sends the received message to DBus and/or
to the console the user has last written to.
  If somebody is interested in trying it out, he can checkout latest
quota-tools CVS and I can provide him with the modified libnl providing
better support for generic netlink handling.
