The original PR suggested that this was a typo.  In fact,
it is a reference to a utility we do not have.  From a printed
4.3BSD manual I own:

quot(8) - summarize file system ownership

Unfortunately, I don't have the system managers volume (section 8)
so I can't tell you exactly what it does.  Although for some reason 
I want to say it may have been used for disk accounting, but don't 
quote me on that.

The df man page also makes reference to it (as well as to quota(1)).
