rpc.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
   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
          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

   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
