Title: Root access check for exported file systems

Description:The following exported file systems grant root access permission to the listed remote systems. This grants privileged users on the remote systems privileged access to the exported file system. This is a security problem if any system on the remote systems list is a known security risk. This is also a security problem if any system on the list is an unknown system. You should carefully review the list of remote systems. Remove any system that should not be granted root access to these file systems.
