I made a new entry for rquotad in /etc/xinetd.d on the server, enabled the rquotad service, ensured that it was allowed in /etc/hosts.allow, then told xinetd to reload and ensured that rpc.rquotad had been registered with portmap. After all this, when running "quota" on the client, I was told that I had no quota, and "quota -v" showed all entries as "0", despite having a quota. Unfortunately, it turns out that on my system, the server was unable to determine the correct quota, because the entry in /etc/exports on the server was different to the entry in /etc/mtab on the client (the server exports /export/home, but the clients use autofs to mount /export/home/<user> on /home/<user>). I found it useful to run /sbin/rpc.rquotad on the command line to easily see any output.
