I kludge this by using awk to grab a list of users to be affected and stuff
it in a file that looks like: 

		#1/bin/sh
		edquota -p protouser username
		edquota -p protouser nextusername

	where protouser is a user who has the same defaults as everyone
	else to be modified (e.g. an existing customer) and username
	is the account to be affected

(The list of users is grabbed from /etc/passwd because the GID of people
with similar quota setups is always the same)
