hello, i am writing a c program which adds new users. i have come to a
sticking point trying to keep the lines of /etc/group less than 256
characters (which i am told is neccesary). the program is supposed to add
the new users to their login group. most of the groups are already close
to 256, and to keep it extendable it would obviously be nice if it could
go past 256, 512, etc. so my question is: has anyone tackled this problem
before, and what did you do? thanks.
