RQUOTAD

NAME

SYNOPSIS

/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 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

-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

-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.
