NAME

6       rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -FI ] [ -p port ] [ -s | -S ] [ -x path ]
10
11       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -h | -V ]

DESCRIPTION

14       rpc.rquotad  is  an  rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of a
15       local filesystem which is mounted by a remote machine over the NFS.  It
16       also  allows setting of quotas on NFS mounted filesystem (if configured
17       during compilation and allowed by  a  command  line  option  -S).   The
18       results are used by quota(1) to display user quotas for remote filesys‐
19       tems and by edquota(8) to set quotas on  remote  filesystems.   rquotad
20       daemon  uses  tcp-wrappers  library  (under service name rquotad) which
21       allows you to specify hosts allowed/disallowed to use the  daemon  (see
22       hosts.allow(5)  manpage  for  more  information). The rquotad daemon is
23       normally started at boot time from the system startup scripts.

OPTIONS

26       -h, --help
27              Show program usage and exit.   -V,  --version  Show  version  of
28              quota tools.
29
30       -s, --no-setquota
31              Don't  allow  setting of quotas (default). This option is avail‐
32              able only  if  utilities  were  compiled  with  the  rpcsetquota
33              option.
34
35       -S, --setquota
36              Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utili‐
37              ties were compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
38
39       -F, --foreground
40              Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes).
41
42       -I, --autofs
43              Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
44
45       -p port, --port port
46              Listen on alternate port port.
47
48       -x path, --xtab path
49              Set an alternative file with NFSD export  table.  This  file  is
50              used to determine pseudoroot of NFSv4 exports. The pseudoroot is
51              then prepended to each relative path (i.e. a path not  beginning
52              by '/') received in a quota RPC request.
