I added a user to our system for an FTP account, but when I tried to change permissions on his account I got an illegal group name. And when I tried to restart one of our apache servers, I got a bad group name also. So I went into /etc/groups and took 2 people out of that particular group and everything was working again with no problems. Obviously there is a limit to how many people can be in one group. What's the limit? Is there anyway around the group limit, without redoing the whole system? On this particular system we're running 2.2.5 Release. Any ideas out there?? ## Chris Dorr ## International Newspaper Network ## 800-579-6397 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
