Package: kernel-source-2.4.18
Version: all
Severity: normal
Hi
Some time ago I discovered the 32 group limit in Linux.
You can simply trigger it.
Create 34 groups in /etc/group with your user as member.
Log in to the system to make it take effect.
then type
groups
and
groups <your username>
The two is not the same.
There have been some discussion about this on the kernel lists
a loong time ago (1999). I just can not find how to fix it. It
was not as easy as just to increse the limit define.
kernel-source-2.4.18/include/linux/limits.h is involved.
...
#define NGROUPS_MAX 32 /* supplemental group IDs are available */
This is a bit of a problem to me (some users have about 34 groups
and it will increse) because we have very separated permissions for
different users.
I really would like to have a higher limit (or preferrably dynamic)
if you know how to accomplish it.
Best regards,
// Ola
