auto quotas?

Heres a stupid question to all you Linux gods/goddesses.

Is there any way to have the system automatically set user quotas when a user account is created or does it have to be done by hand or a script. Every article, thread, anything Ive read so far only shows how to set quotas manually. Any insight would be helpful. Im running FC4 btw.

REPQUOTA(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       REPQUOTA(8)

NAME
repquota -- summarize quotas for a file system SYNOPSIS
repquota [-h] [-g] [-n] [-u] [-v] filesystem ... repquota [-h] [-g] [-n] [-u] [-v] -a DESCRIPTION
The repquota utility prints a summary of the disk usage and quotas for the specified file systems. Available options: -a Print the quotas of all the file systems listed in /etc/fstab. -g Print only group quotas (the default is to print both group and user quotas if they exist). -h Display information in a more human readable format rather than in historic kilobyte format. -n Display user and group IDs numerically rather than converting to a user or group name. -u Print only user quotas (the default is to print both group and user quotas if they exist). -v Print a header line before printing each file system quotas. For each user or group, the current number files and amount of space is printed, along with any quotas created with edquota(8). Only members of the operator group or the super-user may use this command. FILES
quota.user at the file system root with user quotas quota.group at the file system root with group quotas /etc/fstab for file system names and locations DIAGNOSTICS
Various messages about inaccessible files; self-explanatory. SEE ALSO
