Mount Remote Filesystems with nosuid

An XCCDF Rule

Description

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

Rationale

NFS mounts should not present suid binaries to users. Only vendor-supplied suid executables should be installed to their default location on the local filesystem.
