[wplug] default quota when adding user

[Poyner, Brandon]

An alternate way is to use setquota, which negates the need for a quota
template account.

/usr/sbin/setquota -u $user $block_soft $block_hard $inode_soft
$inode_hard $path

As for your original question, Shane is right, you'll need to script
something to set the quota and create the account at the same time.

Part of my user creation script contains the following line:

/usr/sbin/edquota -p example_user $NEWACCOUNT

Where example_user is a dummy user who's quota (and other settings) 
have been set by hand and are ready to be copied, and $NEWACCOUNT is, 
well, the name of the new user.

Only been in Pittsburgh a few weeks, and now delurking! Feels like home 
already.
