RQUOTAD(8) System Manager's Manual RQUOTAD(8)

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

Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
Listen on alternate port port.
