NAME
rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota(1,8) server
SYNOPSIS
rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI ] [ -p port ]
DESCRIPTION
rquotad is an rpc(3,5,8)(3N) 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(3,n) configured dur-
ing compilation and allowed by a command line option -S). The results
are used by quota(1,8)(1) to display user quotas for remote filesystems and
by edquota(8) to set(7,n,1 builtins) 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(1,2,n) from the system startup scripts.
