Hi on FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE (SPC) #0: Thu Feb 1 11:13:35 EST 1996 I am having trouble with my entries in /etc/group I have 3 group entries with a large number of users in each group Once the group line exceeds 1024 chars things go wrong `ls' can't determine a users group `lpr' fails when I try to use the printcap `rg' field The lpr routines seem to use BUFSIZ = 1024 from <stdio.h> I am not sure what `ls' is using to look in /etc/group My query is :- Is there some central place where I can increase this limit, to say 4096 chars, so that all utilities that want to access /etc/group will be aware of the new limit? -- regards Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Clary Harridge University of Queensland, QLD, Australia, 4072 Phone: +61-7-3365-3636 Fax: +61-7-3365-4999 INTERNET: clary@elec.uq.edu.au
