step 1:  use a newish kernel.  the modern kernels support much more than
4G quotas. search /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes for "quota" to see
if your kernel is new enough.  the 2.2.5-22 kernel that ships with RH6.0
is good enough, btw.

step 2:  upgrade your quota utils.  version 1.7x quota utils (that came
with RH6) are broken.  find an RPM of quota version 2 someplace
(rpmfind.net is a good place).  i'm using a 2.0pre4 tarball i found
someplace.

step 3:  enjoy your big quotas!
