Operating Systems Solaris User with read-only to entire filesystem Post 303012587 by Peasant on Tuesday 6th of February 2018 11:34:20 AM

Yes, If you share the share with root permissions.
I haven't actually tried to export the entire filesystem hierarchy via NFS...

Even with ro permission, the user will see all the files on the system, including password hashes from operating system files, host keys etc.

This should not be done as it compromises system security in so many ways ...

Auditors should not have or require access to those important security files.
If required, you should provide those files with hashes replaced/blanked.

Only if the requirement of audit is to compromise the trust of the server and its users.

Hope that helps

Peasant.
