Hello all!
OS :DU 4.0F patch3
My /etc/group looks like :
....
group1:*:100:
group2:*:101:users1, user2 .................... ....
usern
group2:*:101: usern+1, usern+2
group4:*:103: userx
So some group lines are limited to about 256 characters.
I read in archives and in admin book that maximum line lengh in /etc/group
is LINE_MAX define in limits.h.
In limits.h :
..
# define LINE_MAX _POSIX2_LINE_MAX
...
# define _POSIX2_LINE_MAX 2048
If i consider 2048 / 8 = 256 each line is limited to 256 characters OK.
But i have some lines in /etc/group with same group name and same gid.
It seems that this don't get any trouble in running OS;
But i thaught it was impossible having many lines with same group name and
same gid.
Does anyone know that point?
Thanks in advance!
