Quota exceeded warnings not working over NFS

Hello all,
   I'm about to implement quotas and was doing some testing over NFS when
I discovered the following: When logged into the server (where the file
systems are local) you get warnings when exceeding your soft limit as
advertised. When logged into another machine where that same file system
is shared over NFS, you do not get warnings when exceeding your soft
limit. I can use the quota command on the NFS client machine to see that
I'm over my soft limit, however the warnings are not displayed *while I'm
exceeding the limit*. IF I exceed my hard limit on the client, I do get
an error message and am denied writing to the file system as expected.

   I have rquotad running out of inetd on the server and the client, and
I've set the automounter so that the file system mounted over NFS includes the quota
option - the exact line is:
home1 -rw,nosuid,grpid,quota,proto=tcp servername:/a/&

   Both the server and the client are running Solaris 9, the server is
Generic_112233-02 and the client is running 233-04.

   What am I missing???

Thanks as always, and I will of course summarize.

Ivan Fetch.
