Oh, that's not a query so much as a lazy SysAdmin question.

You asked "How would you ..."

I stand by my answer: I don't know how to access quota information on
FreeBSD, so I would Read The Fine Man page. :)

I think you'd find getpwent() of use.  This is a C function also
accessible by Perl.  The lazier way would be to awk fields out of
/etc/passwd.  As pointed out, I don't know how to slurp up quota data.
There's probably a tool out there already that prints much of the data
you want, that could be massaged appropriately.
