OKay,

The max number of groups a user can be a member of is set via the kernel:
(namely the NGROUPS_MAX and NGROUPS definitions).

You need to however also recompile glibc to be without problems.


Instructions on how to do this can be found at:

Whilst it talks of nfs servers -- the same theory applies.

Hope that helps...

In theory there is nothing stoppping you moving the NGROUPS_MAX to something
like 256 or 512...
