NAME

6       rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI ] [ -p port ]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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