You can use any existing user’s quota as a template and issue:

Code:

$ edquota -p foo bar

to copy the settings of foo to user bar. As you can specify more than one username, it can be expanded to set the working directory to /home and use an asterisk to expand to all user names therein to set it for all users (as long as the home directories of the users have their own name).
