4.3.4.20 Ensure rquotad daemon is not in use

Information

This entry starts the rquotad service when required. This allows NFS clients to enforce disk quotas on locally mounted filesystems.

The rquotad service allows NFS clients to enforce disk quotas on file systems that are mounted on the local system. This service should be disabled if it is not required.

Solution

Use chsubserver to disable this service in /etc/inetd.conf and if running, refresh inetd :

chsubserver -r inetd -C /etc/inetd.conf -d -v 'rquotad' -p 'udp'
refresh -s inetd
