Perhaps I misunderstand.  What difference should there be between
`no quota' (a `deleted' entry means `no quota' to me) and `unlimited
access'?  In this case `quota' means `limit'; `no quota' must then
mean `no limit'.

If you mean to keep a user from creating any files on a given file
system, you must restrict the file system, not the user.  If this
is not feasible, a quota of one file and one block seems a small
price to pay.
