New Features
The following list describes new features for this release:
How the ASU server synchronizes disk shares with NFS export entries has changed. See Section 4.1.1.2 for more information.
On a per share basis, you can use the

newly created files and directories in a share or configure whether or not
the ASU server ignores Tru64 UNIX permissions checking for a share.
See
Section 4.4.1
