Check Text ( C-52631r3_chk )
Check if the 'anonuid' and 'anongid' options are set correctly for exported file systems. List exported filesystems: # exportfs -v Each of the exported file systems should include an entry for the 'anonuid=' and 'anongid=' options set to "-1" or an equivalent (60001, 65534, or 65535). If appropriate values for 'anonuid' or 'anongid' are not set, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-54773r2_fix)
Edit "/etc/exports" and set the "anonuid=-1" and "anongid=-1" options for exports lacking it. Re-export the filesystems.
