Details

Check Text ( C-38003r1_chk )
Check if the 'anon' option is set correctly for shared file systems.
# cat /etc/dfs/dfstab

Each of the shared file systems should include an entry for the 'anon=' option set to -1 or an equivalent (60001, 65534, or 65535). If an appropriate 'anon=' setting is not present for a shared file system, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-33237r1_fix)
Edit /etc/dfs/sharetab and set the anon=-1 option for shares without it. Re-export the file systems.
