Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, There seems to be a limit of how many members can belong to a group. I run a 3.2 FBSD server at a biggish high school. We now have well over 120 staff members. I want them all to be members of a group called "teachers" so they can access a shared SAMBA folder. However, when I do a make in the /var/yp directory to make the NIS maps an error message is generated about the group teachers being too big. Of course, I could have smaller groups like "EnglishTeachers" "MathTeachers" instead, but I'd rather not do that yet. Any suggestions? I'm too young to use Novell just yet. Eddie.
