RQUOTAD(8)               System Manager's Manual               RQUOTAD(8)
       rpc.rquotad - remote quota server
       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -FI ] [ -p port ] [ -s | -S ] [ -x path ]
       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -h | -V ]
       rpc.rquotad is an rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of
       a local filesystem which is mounted by a remote machine over the
       NFS.  It also allows setting of quotas on NFS mounted filesystem
       (if configured during compilation and allowed by a command line
       option -S).  The results are used by quota(1) to display user
       quotas for remote filesystems and by edquota(8) to set quotas on
       remote filesystems.  rquotad daemon uses tcp-wrappers library
       (under service name rquotad) which allows you to specify hosts
       allowed/disallowed to use the daemon (see hosts.allow(5) manpage
       for more information). The rquotad daemon is normally started at
       boot time from the system startup scripts.
       -h, --help
              Show program usage and exit.  -V, --version Show version of
              quota tools.
       -s, --no-setquota
              Don't allow setting of quotas (default). This option is
              available only if utilities were compiled with the
              rpcsetquota option.
       -S, --setquota
              Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if
              utilities were compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
       -F, --foreground
              Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging
              purposes).
       -I, --autofs
              Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
       -p port, --port port
              Listen on alternate port port.
       -x path, --xtab path
              Set an alternative file with NFSD export table. This file
              is used to determine pseudoroot of NFSv4 exports. The
              pseudoroot is then prepended to each relative path (i.e. a
              path not beginning by '/') received in a quota RPC request.
       aquota.user or aquota.group
              quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS
              filesystems)
       quota.user or quota.group
              quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS
              filesystems)
       /etc/mtab
              default filesystems
       quota(1), rpc(3), nfs(5), services(5), inetd(8)
