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.
22
24 -V, --version
25 Shows version of quota tools.
26 -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 -S, --setquota
33 Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utili‐
34 ties were compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
35 -F, --foreground
37 Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes).
38 -I, --autofs
40 Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
41 -p port, --port port
43 Listen on alternate port port.
44 -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.

53 aquota.user or aquota.group

55 non-XFS filesystems)
56 quota.user or quota.group
57 quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota,
58 non-XFS filesystems)
