Um, /var would usually be in /etc/fstab already.  If you've configured
your system so that everything is on a single partition, then you're out
of luck, because quotas work on filesystems, not directory hierarchies.

Any quota you apply to your users on '/' now is going to apply to those
users' disk usage on the whole filesystem, not just in /var.  Consider
creating a separate /var filesystem (which is the default in new FreeBSD
installations).

Ciao,
Sheldon.
