   We have a similar "hack" here to check quotas before delivery, but it's
somewhat ugly. It would really be nice to have a *clean* way to do this.
Is there any vital functionality that would be lost by moving the open
after the uid is altered?

   I have noticed that some users' soft limits are enforced as hard, and
some hard limits are ignored. We're still on various 2.2.x systems btw.
Anyone else seen this, or is it something specific to our setup here?
