The rquotad daemon must be disabled on AIX.

Rule version AIX7-00-003080 · STIG v3 · 2026-08-31

Discussion

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 to prevent attacks.

Check

From the command prompt, execute the following command: # grep "^rquotad[[:blank:]]" /etc/inetd.conf

If there is any output from the command, this is a finding.

Fix

In "/etc/inetd.conf", comment out the "rquotad" entry by running command: # chsubserver -r inetd -C /etc/inetd.conf -d -v 'rquotad' -p 'udp'

Restart inetd: # refresh -s inetd
