Changed recommended security style from 'UNIX or mixed' to 'UNIX' for Linux client mounts

Security assessment

The change promotes stricter security configuration by removing 'mixed' security style option, which could prevent potential permission conflicts. However, there's no evidence this addresses a specific vulnerability.
