Allow the use of uid ranges when using the "-p" option to allow
easy setup of default quotas for a range of uids. Usage: edquota -p protouser startuid-enduid E.g. edquota -p mpp 10000-19999 Will duplicate the quota limints for user mpp for uids 10000 - 19999. The uids in question do not have to currently exist in /etc/passwd.
