Actually, I do, however there are problems when you hit a few thousands 
member groups for a given user. The string buffer that holds the group 
names is not big enough .. it's a libc limitation.

You can fix it by patching glibc and recompiling it, and doing the same 
for apache etc... but it's messy.

I want a clean solution :)

Thanks for replying :)
