Yeah, that looks right.  Probably like this:
    # Silently change the user's LDAP password
    # (If we don't redirect stderr into /dev/null, smbldap-passwd
    # complains.)
    open PWD, "| smbldap-passwd $uname 2>/dev/null 1>&2";
    print PWD "$password\n$password";
    close PWD;

    edquota -p $opt_q $uname

If you want to just hack this on your own system ATM, you can just put
"edquota -p ideal_student $uname" right there and it should work for
you.  I put "$opt_q" there because this sounds like it should be an
additional option - how about "-q <ideal-student>"?

Yeah, you're right.  It should be an optional field in the input, but
there should also be a "-q" (or whatever, but I think 'q' makes sense)
option on the command line to allow a default ideal-user to be
specified.

I'm kinda swamped at the moment, but I can plan to get to this and
Dave's ACL work in a couple of weeks or so.  If anybody needs this
urgently, try hacking it in as I mentioned above...

Good suggestion, Brian.
