Answer

  • anon parameter specifies a UNIX user ID or user name that the user credentials are mapped to when evaluation of rorule or superuser parameters result in user being mapped to the anonymous user.
  • The default setting of this parameter is 65534, which is normally associated with the user name nobody or nfsnobody in Linux environments.
  • Setting this paramater to 0 means the users mapped to the anonymous user will get root access.
