Just ran into a strange problem... I have a long-standing user account on my FreeBSD box that no longer works. She can't ssh into the box, and I can't even su to her account.

Does group 1022 exist in /etc/groups?

Yes

Is the user a member of more than 16 groups?

Actually, 15 plus it's own group, so yes, I guess exactly 16.

Okay, I guess I can reorganize groups to eliminate this problem.

Thanks for the hint (as they say, a hint to the wise is sufficient...)
