Check: GEN005820
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN005820
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The Network File System (NFS) anonymous UID and GID must be configured to values that have no permissions. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
When an NFS server is configured to deny remote root access, a selected UID and GID are used to handle requests from the remote root user. The UID and GID should be chosen from the system to provide the appropriate level of non-privileged access.
Check Content
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
Edit /etc/dfs/sharetab and set the anon=-1 option for shares without it. Re-export the file systems.
