So I tried upping NGROUP_MAX to 2048 (which is well above what I need, 512 would be about right I suppose) but the system would crash somewhere at about the point it should switch from single user to multi user (of course I did make world and recompile the kernel). Switching back to the old kernel with the new world let it boot like normal. So my question, how high can I set that value? Or do I need to change some other values to go to a high number? I don't care if I waste some memory, security is much more important than that. And RAM is cheap these days. I'd appreciate any pointers on this.
