Is Quota needed to allocate to a user or a group of users ?

I just want to set directory maximum size for every users.
Can I use Quota for my case?

Yes. This is what quota is supposed to do.

Actually,I would like to share this(for windowsXP client) directory by
SAMBA and need to set Max size of directory to stay under disk
consumption limit.
