We have about 118 users in one group in /etc/group, if we add one
more we cannot use this group anymore.
ex chgrp
answers invalid group.
Is there a limit of users??
Or is there a maximum linelength??
I looked in O'Reilly "essential system administration"
There seems to bee no limit for BSD Unix.
Thanks in advance Juergen
