Hi,

I got the following:

I have admin and web in all user groups - like this:


/etc/groups:
...
...
maria12::1028:maria12,admin,web
maria13::1029:maria13,admin,web
maria14::1030:maria14,admin,web
maria15::1031:maria15,admin,web
maria16::1032:maria16,admin,web
maria17::1033:maria17,admin,web
maria18::1034:maria18,admin,web
maria19::1035:maria19,admin,web
maria20::1036:maria20,admin,web
maria21::1037:maria21,admin,web
maria22::1038:maria22,admin,web
maria23::1039:maria23,admin,web
maria24::1040:maria24,admin,web
maria25::1041:maria25,admin,web
maria26::1042:maria26,admin,web
maria27::1043:maria27,admin,web
maria28::1044:maria28,admin,web
maria29::1045:maria29,admin,web
...
...

but now I became aware, that admin (web) is only present in the first 32
appearances in the /etc/group file. If I try to edit a 664 file of an
user that is listed later in the /etc/group file, I got permissions
denied......funny eyh??

It seems, after some tests, that a user can only be present in max 32
different groups. If you add him in more groups, the /etc/groups file is
read from the first line to the last, only the first 32 appearances are
recognized and used by the system.


Is this a general linux Problem?? Is this a wrong patch?? In what
package is this rule included?? Maybe I can use later, fixed pkgs.
Please let me know if someone has the same problem (I got this on all
of my hostservers, vsd 1.4.6RPMpkgs, source install).

Such a limitation would be a bigger problem - I guess not only for me!

warm regards

jimmy
