I'm trying to install disk quotas under version 2.1, and the man pages
for the relevant commands seem fairly clear, except for one thing: the
format of the entries entered into 'edquota'.

I tried it the way its described in the O'Reilly "System Adminstration
book", but i get a 'bad format' error, so i
assume they are descibing a different and earlier syntax.

anyone know the proper format? 

Thanx,
