>Description:
When I try to query other user's quota in the NFS server, it told me "quota: /raid/quota.user: Permission denied". But when I try to query other user's quota in the NFS client, it will return his/her quota.
>How-To-Repeat:
nfsserver% quota -v someuser
quota: /raid/quota.user: Permission denied
nfsclient% quota -v someuser
Disk quotas for user someuser (uid xxxxx):
     Filesystem   usage   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
      /amd/raid   17178  120000  150000            1406   12000   15000

>Fix:
In FreeBSD 4.x, the problem is solved by checking uid in src/usr.bin/quota/quota.c. But I think it would be better if we check the uid in the rpc.rquotad. But I am not familiar with SUNRPC, and I don't know if there will be the uid information transmitted in the RPC request/reponse.
