    Thanks to Charles Holman for suggesting that it might be /usr/sbin/quota
    that is being run from /etc/.profile that might be causing the problem

    If I give the user a .hushlogin or if I comment out the /usr/sbin/quota
    line from that script I can su - dave no problem...

    but that is a band-aid, not a fix. When I try to run quotacheck as root:

    quotacheck -v dave

    I get

    Cannot check dave

    All i did was add the user with useradd, create a group, put him in that
    group, change his shell to tcsh, create a home dir and chown it to
    him...nothing out of the ordinary. This is a new one for me...
