Issue

  • When a CIFS user creates a file on a UNIX security style volume, the owner of the file is pcuser or UID 65534
  • When running access-check authentication show-creds, ONTAP reports that the Windows user maps to 'pcuser' instead of an intended UNIX user of the same name as the Windows user
