That fits. User www is in 19 groups total and gets Permission denied on thr= ee.=20 Thanks a lot for the hint Chuck! I found the sysctl knob kern.ngroups, too bad it's read only. I don't think= =20 I'm going to reboot and change that, so I'll have to think about another=20 permission model, which seems to be smarter anyway, now that I know about t= he=20 max groups restriction. =20 Again, thanks a lot for the hint, at least I'm a bit smarter now :) Cheers Jonas
