NAME
rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server
SYNOPSIS
rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI ] [ -p port ]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
-V, --version
Shows 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.
FILES

quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota,
