They are (I think) binary files. edquota(8) converts them in to a textual representation, lets you edit them, and converts them back. > Shouldn't there exist a quota.user(5) man page and a quota.group(5) > man page, specifying the format of these files? Probably not. What there probably should be is a quota.user(5) and quota.group(5) which explains that these are binary files, and should be edited by edquota(8). quotacheck(8) should probably mention that these files should be edited by edquota(8).
