1. I would need to upgrade firmware to 5.3 but some said there was no great
reason to go to 4.0e. Also, suggested waiting until there was a patch kit
for a version before installing it.

2. Use a script with the -p and -u option. For instance:
   for i in 'cat students'
   do
     vedquota -p first -u $i
   done
Thanks to all.
