Mount Remote Filesystems with nodev

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Add the nodev option to the fourth column of /etc/fstab for the line which controls mounting of any NFS mounts.

Rationale

Legitimate device files should only exist in the /dev directory. NFS mounts should not present device files to users.
