Try something like the following.. it all comes down to using the (edquota -p 
command though). I'm assuming use of /etc/passwd, swap for ypcat passwd if using 
NIS.

GROUPNAME="lp"
groups `cat /etc/passwd | awk '{FS=":";print $1}'` | grep " $GROUPNAME" | awk 
'{print $1}' | xargs edquota -p template_user 

Where template_user is a quota profile previously defined for a typical user of 
the group.

For more information, man edquota (-p option)
