Each user is give their own group and other users needing access to the group are added to the individual groups. This seemed like a very good idea, particularly after dealing with VMS's scheme. Our planned expansion configuration will require that serveral supervisors will have access to many (more much than 16) user's data. On examination of the /etc/group file, usrxyzx is listed in 15 groups (including wheel). Is this a real problem, I can't seem to find this problem anywhere else, and the other users who are in the same number of groups do not get this message.
