I know about `edquota -p'. I've been using it to administer quota's for
a couple of years. Its main drawback is that it replaces quota/grace data
for ALL filesystems with another set. I would like a utility with which I
can modify one filesystem at a time, from the command line (or with some
exec(2) call).
