File access protocol enhancements

a new option for specifying the minimum levels of authentication and session
security that clients must use, and compatibility with Windows Vista and

server”
Maximum number of auxiliary UNIX groups supported for a user
If you use Kerberos V5 authentication, the maximum number of auxiliary
UNIX groups that a user can be a member of is 32 by default. You can
increase the maximum to 256 groups by setting the nfs.max_num_aux_groups
option to 256.
If you do not use Kerberos V5 authentication, the maximum number of
auxiliary UNIX groups that a user can be a member of is 16.
For more information about the nfs.max_num_aux_groups option, see the
na_options(1) man page.
Support for multiple open instances of the SMB named pipe on an
FPolicy server
In Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode, you can enable multiple open instances of the
SMB named pipe on an FPolicy server by using the fpolicy.multiple_pipes
option.
For more information, see the Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode File Access and Protocols
Management Guide.
