Check Text ( C-863r2_chk )
Check if the anon option is set correctly for exported file systems.

List exported file systems.
# exportfs -v

Each of the exported file systems should include an entry for the 'anon=' option set to -1 or an equivalent (60001, 60002, 65534, or 65535). If an appropriate 'anon=' setting is not present for an exported file system, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-25768r1_fix)
Edit /etc/dfs/dfstab and add the "anon=-1" option for exports lacking it. Re-export the filesystems.
