NAME
       rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS
       rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI ] [ -p port ]

DESCRIPTION
       rquotad  is  an rpc(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 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
       -V, --version
              Shows version of quota tools.

       -s, --no-setquota

       -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.
