You would have to remove a line from /etc/profile, which actually does check disk quotas:

Thats probably not a good idea.

I don't know which line it is, but you can experiment if you wish.

Plan A. Obtain the source for /bin/login and modify it.

Plan B. Using a binary file editor (e.g. hexedit) find the string in /bin/login and replace the first character with a NUL.

Plan C. (and my suggested course of action) forget about it.

chmod ugo-x /usr/bin/quota /usr/sbin/edquota

Basically, you can only chmod -x the disk quota binaries to turn this off.
