I've never allowed Mixed Mode on my filers, another IT department here
does though, and I've dealt with the results. Personally, I think it
should be called "Why are these file permissions broken again?" Mode.

I trust this is an individual's surmise and no more. I have not heard of
this remote possibility
in any shape or form. We rely absolutely on mixed mode presentation to
our users; its one of
the keystone elements of our single authentication, single filestore
architecture. Losing this would be
too much to contemplate.

Subject: Mixed Mode
Does anyone know the future of the security mode -- "mixed mode"?
Several co-workers returned from NetApp training stating that this
particular mode is not encouraged and may be dropped in the not too
distant future from NetApp support.
Has anyone else heard this or can confirm this to any degree? We are
about to set up a new Filer and I'm trying to decide what to do with a
volume that is currently configured for mixed mode security on an old
Filer.
If anyone has experiences changes from mixed mode to either all CIFS or
NFS, I'd appreciate their inputs as well.
Thanks.
Tracy
