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 config-
       ured 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.
