When creating accounts, I have always used a "template user" (proto_user)
with the appropriate quota on that users home partition and a quota of 0
on all other partitions. This would allow me to use (for new_user_home on
/export/home4):

edquota -p proto_user_home4 newuser

This forces me to have a proto_user for each partition. I have been
thinking about writing something to:

parse fstab/mnttab
determining the newuser home partition
momentarily twiddling $EDITOR (to sed?)
clearing any values present
writing in 0 on all but the home partition
quoting the home at the "right value"

If anybody has suggestions/caveats/scripts please drop me a line and I
will summarize to the net in a week (or so, due to US Thankgiving)

I have a setquota C program which sets a given user's quota to values
specified on teh command line. It's not the world's most elegant code, but
it works.

It's available at ftp://ftp.cs.buffalo.edu/users/milun/Solaris/setquota.c
