Hello Dan,

I am running into trouble with users who are in more then 16 groups. I
fail to ssh in with the following message:
sshd[96785]: initgroups(username,1002): Invalid argument
sysctl -a kern.ngroups
kern.ngroups: 16
Is there any reason why I should not raise NGROUPS_MAX in the following
two files?
/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h
/usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h
What could I accidentally break.. Or should I say, is there a good
reason why the number 16 is hard coded in there?
I found another post on this:
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-05/1086.html
The poster outlines 3 potential issues, including issues with NFS with
an NGROUPS_MAX value above 16. I'm not sure if those are still issues
(e.g. I don't use NFS), but that may be why the values have been set
that way by default.
I hope that thread helps!
Sincerely,
-Parker
