string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not

found, the username <code class="constant">GUEST</code> is used. </p><p>A third option is to use a credentials file which
58
contains the plaintext of the username and password. This

option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not

wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment
61
variables. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions

on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the

64
many systems the command line of a running process may be seen
65
via the <code class="literal">ps</code> command. To be safe always allow
66
<code class="literal">rpcclient</code> to prompt for a password and type
67
it in directly. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481692"></a><h2>QUOTA_SET_COMAND</h2><p>The format of an the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND is an operation
