NAME top

   rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS top

   **/usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad** [ **-FI** ] [ **-p** _port_ ] [ **-s** | **-S** ] [ **-x** _path_ ]

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

DESCRIPTION top

   **rpc.rquotad** is an [rpc(3)](../man3/rpc.3.html) 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)](../man1/quota.1.html) to display user
   quotas for remote filesystems and by [edquota(8)](../man8/edquota.8.html) 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 top

   **-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
          available only if utilities were compiled with the
          _rpcsetquota_ 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 top

   **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
