# rpc.rquotad(8)

remote quota server

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

**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. [quota(1)](/quota/1.md) uses the results to display user quotas for remote filesystems. **rpc.rquotad** is normally invoked by [inetd(8)](/inetd/8.md).

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

## SEE ALSO

[quota(1)](/quota/1.md)

## BUGS

4\.4BSD and OpenBSD support group quotas but the rquota protocol does not.
