Has anyone tried the quota system?

Or, if the problem is with NFS-mounted file systems, by mounting them on
the *clients* with the "noquota" option; this option obviously does *not*
turn off quota checking when creating extending or extending files (the
checks are done on the server, and you can't control that with a client
mount option), but *does* mean that the "/usr/ucb/quota" fired off by
"login" won't bother asking the remote "quota server" about those file
systems.
