I have experience w/ nbac in 6.x and upgrading with it installed (ver 6.x thru 
7.x.
Wait until after upgrading to 7.1.0.3 and running  it for a few weeks.  This 
will give time for any upgrade gremlins to appear and be dealt with.  
Nbac has enough of its own gremlins to deal with.
Version 7 was a  significant  change to nbac.
>From our experience, version 7.1.x is far better than 6.5.x.  Ymmv ;)

Thanks,
Tom
