Hi, I would like to have users with more than 15 groups. The default kern.ngroups: is 16 by default and readonly, and not even /etc/sysctl.conf allows to modify it after reboot, although securelevel is -1. I read somewhere that I need the modify the source and rebuild world for this. If I put myself into more than 15 groups I cannot login anymore and only sshd[52178]: initgroups(username,100): Invalid argument message in the syslog warns me about this - I think more warnings needed at some other point since you can easily lock out yourself from a remote system. So what steps should I take to let this configuration work. Isn't there an easier way then rebuild wolrd ?
