Don't be so sure.  For example, I have the following in (netinfo)
fstab:

futon:/Users /Net nfs ro,bg,soft,net,nosuid,noquota 0 0

If I didn't explicitly specify noquota and futon was down for
some reason (rare, but it happens), there will be a *LONG*
pause when I try to log into ->this<- machine because /bin/login
does a quota check and I'd have to wait for the RPC to time out.
The noquota bypasses this.  (The disk is mounted read-only--
what's the point of checking quotas remotely?)

(If this isn't covered in NextAnswers, it should be.)
