rpc.rquotad

RQUOTAD(8)						      System Manager's Manual							RQUOTAD(8)

NAME

       rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -FI ] [ -p port ] [ -s | -S ] [ -x path ]

       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -h | -V ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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.

FILES

       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

SEE ALSO

       quota(1), rpc(3), nfs(5), services(5), inetd(8)
