I knew we can not create numbered users in UNIX but ldap does, and also repquota can see these users. So there must have been a workaround for this, I was asking for that. Then I solved the problem via "quotatool", it set quotas for appropriate users

There is a reason why user _names_ in UNIX don't start with a digit, just as
variable names don't start with a digit. How should a program like chown know
you use a UID or a user name?
