If NFS is not required on AIX, the NFS daemon must be disabled.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The rcnfs entry starts the NFS daemons during system boot. NFS is a service with numerous historical vulnerabilities and should not be enabled unless there is no alternative. If NFS serving is required, then read-only exports are recommended and no filesystem or directory should be exported with root access. Unless otherwise required the NFS daemons (rcnfs) will be disabled.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
