There's really no way to do this with /etc/passwd, because it doesn't
allow any adding any extra fields. Either switch to some other userdb
file (maybe generated automatically from /etc/passwd and other files? or
checkpassword script) or use post-login scripting to set QUOTA
environment from wherever you want to take it from (doesn't work if you
use deliver).

I have read the links and where can I mention these extra fields (in
/etc/passwd file??).
