You need to run the rquotad on the server to be able to query quotas for
NFS-mounted filesystems. I patched /etc/init.d/quota to run rpc.rquotad if you
export filesystems and at the same time some filesystems have quotas. I don't
check, though, that set of exported filesystems and the set of filesystems with
quotas have a non-empty intersection.
Cheers,
Lukas
