1) Setup up a dummy user with the default quota (stencil in this
   example).
2) To process a file with a list of users from a ksh command line:
       # for user in $(cat list)
       >   do
       >   edquota -u -p stencil $user
       > done
The syntax will vary slightly depending on what shell you're using,
but the idea is to iteratively process each $user with your default
quota.
