Do a getconf NGROUPS_MAX and you will see that 20 is the hard-coded limit. The limit is defined in /usr/include/limits.h but don't bother to change it there because the kernel won't have a clue that you have changed it.<BR /> Thu, 07 Oct 2004 09:49:57 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/groups-max/m-p/3395511#M199896 A.

My understanding was they were relucant to do this due to historical reasons and compatibility issues. Howerver, in today's age of consolidations this needs to be raised. <BR /><BR />It might be to increase the limit, or to allow a user to switch between groups of groups.<BR /><BR />The Enhancement Request for NGROUPS to be increased is JAGaf08926<BR /> Thu, 07 Oct 2004 10:18:15 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/groups-max/m-p/3395512#M199897 Gary L.
