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

       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
