Ultrix folks!

   I just tried to enable quotas on an NFS mounted filesystem.  I got an error 
stating that I had given an illegal option to -o.  In my /etc/fstab file,
the entries that have the problems look like this:

/usr@cda.mrs.umn.edu:/usr:rq:0:0:nfs:bg:
/usr1@cda.mrs.umn.edu:/usr1:rq:0:0:nfs:bg:

If I change the "rq" to "rw", things work find except that I loose
the quota capabilities.  I am running version 4.0 of Ultrix.  I don't have
the 4.0 doc set yet so please don't point me to a manual an leave it at
that.  I think the manuals might be sitting on another campus where I cannot
get at them right now.  Anyone else have problems like this or see what
I might have done wrong?  Thanks in advance!
