# rpc.rquotad(8)

remote quota server

## NAME

**rpc.rquotad**, **rquotad** – remote quota server

## SYNOPSIS

**/usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad**

## DESCRIPTION

**rpc.rquotad** is an [rpc(3)](/rpc/3.md) server which returns quotas for a user of a local filesystem which is NFS-mounted onto a remote machine. Typically, [quota(1)](/quota/1.md) uses the results to display user quotas for remote filesystems. **rpc.rquotad** is normally invoked via launchd by the NFS server - [nfsd(8)](/nfsd/8.md). The port that the service is made available on can be specified using the **nfs.server.rquota.port** option in [nfs.conf(5)](/nfs.conf/5.md).

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