RQUOTAD(8) System Manager's Manual RQUOTAD(8)
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 re-
sults 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 al-
lows 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 op-
tion.
-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.
