| Check /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf for the AUTOFS automount setting. # cat /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | grep -v "^#" | \ grep -i "AUTOFS=1" If set to 1, this is a finding. After testing, if the autofs service is required, this vulnerability is not applicable. |
