NAME
       rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS
       rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI ] [ -p port ]

DESCRIPTION
       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 filesystems 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
       -V, --version
              Shows version of quota tools.

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

       -S, --setquota
              Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utilities 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
