Uninstall nfs-utils Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The nfs-utils package can be removed with the following command: 

$ sudo yum erase nfs-utils

Rationale

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 which are mounted on that host.
