And the one in nfs-utils is fairly thoroughly broken (only recognises ext2 and ext3 for a start). You can tell which you are using by running it with "-v". e.g. /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad -v The "nfs-utils" one will say rquotad 1.0.10 The "quota" one will give a "Usage" message because it doesn't understand -v.
