Does QUOTA work for users not in /etc/password (ie. by UID?)

Hi all -
I was looking at implementing QUOTA for a server, but all of our users are
stored in a database (ftp/pop/imap authenticates against the db). They
each have their own uid's though so the files are owned "individually".
I would think file system quotas would work for this, but from the docs
I've read so far it doesn't say and all the various commands take a
username as an argument, not a uid...
So without actually trying it out, anyone know if quotas will work without
matching /etc/passwd entries?
Thanks!
