NAME
     rpc.rquotad, rquotad - remote quota server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad

DESCRIPTION
     rpc.rquotad is a rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of a local
     filesystem which is NFS-mounted onto a remote machine.  quota(1) uses the
     results to display user quotas for remote filesystems.  rpc.rquotad is
     normally invoked by inetd(8).

     rpc.rquotad uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.x.

     WARNING: rpc.rquotad has no access control and may leak information about
     any local file on the host, whether or not exported, to other hosts on
     the network.
