NAME

6       rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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.
