Setting quota

I would like to set quota for ALL USERS on a particular filesystem and the quota to be set for NEWLY CREATED USERS also.

I am not sure, whether my question is clear. I can set quota for all users but my requirement is, I want the same quota to be set automatically for the user which is going to be created.

Please advice/give me idea.

Thanks for reading this thread.
