Hi,
first of all, I apologies if this is not the correct mailing list to ask
this.
We are using a 2.2.7stable with a user/group scheme where every user is
assigned to her own group with a default umask of 007. For all
the different projects we create an extra group and assign all users which
need to work on the project to that group. This works perfectly, however
with this scheme it is very likely that you hit the NGROUPS maximum which
is at just "16".
What problems should I expect when I increase NGROUPS_MAX to, lets say, "64"
in /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h ? Is this the right place to change the limit ?
Do I only have to recompile a new kernel or do I need a "make world" ?
Wouldn't NGROUPS_MAX be a good candidate for the kernel config file ?
Thanks in advance, and again sorry if this is not the right mailing list,
Christoph
