user disk space limit

[VOX BARBARA]

i recently was quite surprised, when i examined my diskspace. It kinda vanished for no reason. I asked a friend of mine, who has an user account on my pb, IF he has any sort of explanation. He told me: "well perhaps some huge ps files, i dunno" :)
I screamed: WHAT?

Question: Is there a possibility to limit ones user account to a particular amount of free disk space. For example: this user has 5 gig hd space available, if he goes beyond, well, ... what a pity.

hints appreciated
