Hisako, hehehe, sorry for laughing. I'm a little amused. My friend asked me the same question a couple days ago. (I used to go to UB, and he's probably in your class). The only reference I could find was in <sys/types.h> which defines t_gid as a 32bit unsigned integer. (Which imples over 4 billion gid and uid's, 2^32). Minus 1 of course since uid's and gid's start with 0 and not 1. (2^0 = 1) ====> To the rest of the list: I would actually like to know the exact answer to this question myself. Does someone else on the list know if there is another limiting factor? I did search the mailing list archives and didn't find much. I did find a few messages about UID and that prodded me to look in the sources to find what I was actually able to find.
