$ man 5 exports

       By default, nfsd tries to obtain the anonymous uid and gid
       by looking up user nobody in the password file at  startup
       time.  If it isn't found, a uid and gid of -2 (i.e. 65534)
       is used. These  values  can  also  be  overridden  by  the
       anonuid and anongid options.

Guess you have to edit /etc/exports to change the behaviour.
