12 rquotad is an rpc(3N) 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.
