NAME
       rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -FI ] [ -p port ] [ -s | -S ] [ -x path ]

       /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad [ -h | -V ]

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

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Show program usage and exit.   -V,  --version  Show  version  of
	      quota tools.

       -s, --no-setquota
	      Don't  allow  setting of quotas (default). This option is avail‐
	      able only	 if  utilities	were  compiled	with  the  rpcsetquota
	      option.

       -S, --setquota
	      Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utili‐
	      ties were compiled with the rpcsetquota option.

       -F, --foreground
	      Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes).

       -I, --autofs
	      Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.

       -p port, --port port
	      Listen on alternate port port.

       -x path, --xtab path
	      Set an alternative file with NFSD export	table.	This  file  is
	      used to determine pseudoroot of NFSv4 exports. The pseudoroot is
	      then prepended to each relative path (i.e. a path not  beginning
	      by '/') received in a quota RPC request.

FILES
       aquota.user or aquota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota,
			   non-XFS filesystems)
       quota.user or quota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota,
			   non-XFS filesystems)
       /etc/mtab	   default filesystems
