1) make sure quota RPM is installed
2) edit /etc/fstab and change the partition where you want quotas, eg:
/dev/sdb5 /home/users ext2 defaults,usrquota 1 2
change to:
/dev/sdb5 /home/users ext2 defaults,usrquota 1 2
(this will give you per-user quotas)
3) touch /home/users/quota.user
touch /home/users/quota.group
4) chmod 600 /home/users/quota.*
5) reboot
OR
5) remount /home/users
6) /sbin/quotacheck -v -R -a
Then you can edquota to your hearts content.
As you can see this is pretty close to the Quota mini-howto, but the devil
is in the details. If you make a wrong move in startup scripts you'll end
with system you have to rescue (RedHat has already pre-modified their
startup scripts so all you have to do is setup the quota on the filesystems).
