NAME
rpc.rquotad - remote quota serverSYNOPSIS
/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.
