NAME

rpc.rquotad, rquotad — remote quota server

SYNOPSIS

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.
