We are considering getting a NetApp Filer to become the major fileserver in our established cluster of Solaris 2.6 machines, with a user population of some 15,000 administered using NIS with shadow passwords for authentication.
We understand that filer can do NIS, and that it can use its own shadow password file, but can use a Solaris/NIS/shadow combination? Network Appliance haven't yet been able to give us a definitive answer, nor a reference site we could contact.
