Hi Gurus

We have OSF/1 Ver. 3.0 running on an Alpha 4000/610. We are adding users
to the system. The last time I got a message that stated:

   110 password entries, maximum length 115

I still have to enter over 30 users to the same group. We are running an
application that requires all users of the application to be member of the
same group. We have over 150 users that are going to use the same application.

Our OSF-1 license is for an unlimited number of users.

Can we keep on adding users to the same group? What does the message mean?
If we can't keep on adding users to the same group, what can we do?
