.B rquotad
is an
.BR rpc (3N)
server which returns quotas for a user of a local filesystem
which is mounted by a remote machine over the
.SM NFS\s0.
It also allows setting of quotas on
.SM NFS
mounted filesystem. The results are used by
.BR quota (1)
to display user quotas for remote filesystems and by
.BR edquota (8)
to set quotas on remote filesystems.
The
.B rquotad
daemon is normally started at boot time from the
system startup scripts.
