Title

RHEL 9 must not have the nfs-utils package installed. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

"nfs-utils" provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and related tools. This package also contains the "showmount" program. "showmount" queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the Network File System (NFS) server on the remote host. For example, "showmount" can display the clients that are mounted on that host.

Check Content

Fix Text

Remove the nfs-utils package with the following command: $ sudo dnf remove nfs-utils
