I love FreeBSD too...
To enable quotas add the following line to your kernel configuration file
OPTIONS QUOTA
Edit /etc/sysconfig and turn on the option you mencioned before.
To enable quotas on a filesystem edit /etc/fstab and change the entry to
<partition> <mounting point> default rw,userquota,groupquota 1 1
Then reboot your machine.
To edit quotas for one user just run the command edquota <username>.
Other important commands are quotacheck, repquota, quotaon and quotaoff. The
first updates the quota files (if quotas are working this command
you should not need to run this command so often), the second shows the
blocks the blocks used by the users and groups, the third turns quotas on
and the last one turns quotas off.
For more information see the man page of these commands.
If you have any doubt send mail to the list or to me.
I hope that this reply helps you...
