A few ideas.
1. Did you read the Quota HOWTO located in the HOWTO directory
of your Distribution?? as you seem to have forgotten a few IMPORTANT
facts. Most important is
edquota -u user1 NOTICE the -u switch, VERY imporrtant. QUOTA itself will
give you a template to change by itself. just modify the fields it gives
you and save it back to disk.
2. for Quota to work right did you modify your fstab to enable
quota support on the volumes you want them to be active on?? your Quota
file shows how. you can also find a full HOWTO on quota (its only like 24k
or so, in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/doc/HOWTO
might be wrong with URL but I think I am close to right.
The HOWTO, its one of the few that does not end with the word
HOWTO. I wish they kept the names of HOWTO files consistant, ie
Quota-HOWTO. but thats not a major problem. Your Distributation CD may
very well have this file. If you can, read through it at least once.
