For a shell user you would need to create a new lynx.cfg file without the
PUBLIC_READABLE
entries found at the end of CS_ROOT/etc/lynx.cfg
and set your shell path to find the new lynx.cfg probably by wrapping the
lynx binary to specifically look for it.
lynx -cfg=/path/to/new/lynx.cfg

Quota is not automatically setup by CSuite. Have you installed your OS

cs_tech is a group that users can join to volunteer and be given access to
appropriate areas of the system to work; user csuite can action additions
through the group edit links in csuite's file browser. techhelp could be a
mailing list that users send their questions to and the list is staffed by
appropriately qualified volunteers willing to answer them.

The default options are that custom named users pay more.

Yes there is an exception script to allow this. I'll let somebody else
handle the details.

Because most sites using CSuite for the first time have enough to cope
with, we felt recommending against adding a distraction in the form of a
graphical interface since it does not really enhance running CSuite but
instead occupies resources it might need.

It is in testing stage and you would be most welcome to become a beta
