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.
