.B rpc.rquotad
is an
.BR rpc (3)
server which returns quotas for a user of a local filesystem
which is mounted by a remote machine over the
.SM NFS\s0.
It also allows setting of quotas on
.SM NFS
mounted filesystem (if configured during compilation and allowed by a command line option
.BR \-S ).
The results are used by
.BR quota (1)
to display user quotas for remote filesystems and by
.BR edquota (8)
to set quotas on remote filesystems.
.B rquotad
daemon uses tcp-wrappers library (under service name
.IR rquotad )
which allows you to specify hosts allowed/disallowed to use
the daemon (see
.BR hosts.allow (5)
manpage for more information). The
.B rquotad
daemon is normally started at boot time from the
system startup scripts.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Show program usage and exit.
.B \-V, \-\-version
Show version of quota tools.
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-no-setquota
Don't allow setting of quotas (default). This option is available only
if utilities were compiled with the
.I rpcsetquota
option.
.TP
.B \-S, \-\-setquota
Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only
if utilities were compiled with the
.I rpcsetquota
option.
.TP
.B \-F, \-\-foreground
Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes).
.TP
.B \-I, \-\-autofs
Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
.TP
.B \-p \f2port\f3, \-\-port \f2port\f1
Listen on alternate port
.IR port.
.TP
.B \-x \f2path\f3, \-\-xtab \f2path\f1
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.
