so let's say you used notepad on a windows machine to create a list of users  bob john steve  1) scp this file to the control station 2) run "dos2unix yourfile.txt"    ...this will get rid of control characters in the file 3) whenever you run quota commands you ommit the root file, for example if your file system is mounted like this:  /HOME  and you need to create 3 directories for bob, john and steve ..your would run a simple for loop, ie:  for i in `cat yourfile.txt` do echo "Create quota for user $i" nas_quotas -on -tree -fs fs123 -path /$i done  as you can see, i am not specying /HOME in the path because that's already assumed of how fs123 is mounted. So the 3 directories will be created in the root for HOME folder.  does it help ?
