[comp.lang.perl] suid and edquota

I'm writing a newuser program in perl for the local secretaries to use to create
new user accounts.  It does everything fine including chowning the .login, etc and
the user's home directory, but it gets permission denied from edquota.

Is there any way around this?? Do I really have to actually be root to run edquota??
