1) do you have quota's enabled in the kernel?

2) did you add the usrquota option in /etc/fstab?

3) did you make the quota.user file in the root of the appropriate mounted
   partition?

4) remount the filesystems?  "mount -o remount /dir"

5) then run the quota start?

Good luck, keep meaning to do it myself,
Brandon
