I'm using quota-1.33 suite since 1.1.* . With the latest kernels, use
kdiffs-1.2.3-quota+acct patch (look for it with archie). It patches 1.2.13
cleanly except one file; do it by hand or I can send you the correction.
There is an alternative quota suite from http://www.cistron.nl/~mvw/ . Last time
I checked it, it was very buggy concerning NFS. If you plan to use quotas on
local disk only, it may be ok. It has patches to 1.3.* also.
Anyway, both are _really_ beta and you have to run quotacheck regularly (I do it
from cron once per hour), otherwise results got by `quota' and `du' can differ
significantly :-(.
