[K12OSN] quotas

[Mark Gumprecht]

Thanks for the lead. I went into webmin, I had already enabled 
user/group quotas, but didn't , at the time, see howto replicate the 
size I wanted. If one was to go into the user quota side and just chose 
a user to edit a quota on, you can set the wanted quota on that user. 
Save that setting and go right back into editing that user again. Only 
this time click on list all quotas, and the click on copy quota. The 
rest is self explanitory.
Thanks again,
Mark
