Create a root-squashing rule for an export

By default, the NFS service implements a root-squashing rule for the default NFS export. The root-squashing rule prevents root users on NFS clients from exercising root privileges on the NFS server.

  1. Use the isi nfs exports view command to view the current settings of the default export.
    The following command displays the settings of the default export:
    isi nfs exports view 1
  2. Confirm the following default values for these settings, which show that root is mapped to nobody, restricting root access:
    Map Root
             Enabled: True
                User: Nobody
       Primary Group: -
    Secondary Groups: -
  3. If the root-squashing rule is not in effect, you can implement it for the default NFS export. Run the isi nfs export modify command, as follows:
    isi nfs exports modify 1 --map-root-enabled true --map-root nobody
Users cannot gain root privileges on the NFS server regardless of their credentials on the NFS client.
