  Mount the filesystem with the 'quotas' option, by adding it to
  /etc/fstab or the automounter map as appropriate, and make sure the
  nfs.sw.nis subsystem, which contains the NFS quota daemon
  (/usr/etc/rpc.rquotad) is installed. That's nfs.sw.nis, not
  nfs.sw.nfs! See fstab(4), rquotad(1M) and perhaps automount(1M) for
  details.
