Most of the feedback I got for the question regarding quotas for an
entire volume without using edquota was a no.

Others have suggested other ways of doing it.
A) use edquota -p (profile copied from a generic user) to set up a
user's quota when you add him to the system (kolya@zepa.net)

B) Write a shell script which uses awk to get the last few names in
passwd and then does and edquota with the -p option (prototype)
(cprice@molbio.unmc.edu)

Thanks again!
