Re: Too many default groups in Skolelinux' LDAP schema?

[Ragnar Wisloff <ragnar@skolelinux.no>]

There's been an entertaining discussion about this :-)

Let me just make the comment that too many groups will create real 
problems, no matter what the naming scheme is. Since NFS will honour no 
more than 16 groups, users logging in to a thin client server (which 
mounts the home dirs etc. using NFS) will risk not being able to use 
common file storage set aside for a specific group. We have diagnosed 
this problem at one school at least, where one of the teachers was a 
member of 28 groups.

Just my 2 cents, guys.
