Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the value of the NGROUPS_MAX
variable.
(Sets the maximum number of groups that a user can belong to, or at least
the number of
groups that initgroups will deal with.)
Apparently it is defined as a contacnt within the limits.h file.
On my system (V5.1) I can only find a POSIX compliant declaration which is =
0

I am not using NIS or NFS so raising this figure should not impact
operationaly.


Kind regards
