maximum number of group members in NIS group?

Tim Frye — Tue, 10 Dec 2002 13:12:24 GMT

I have found it documented as an NIS standard/behavior that a single group definition line inside the NIS group map can be at most 1024 chars long. Even with 2 char user names that allow me less than 300 user IDs. Is there any way to have 1000, 8 character user names associated with a single group using NIS or NIS+?

Hi,

Yes no problem,

add a second group with the same groupid in the group file.

oracle::1000:oracle,composer
oracle1::1000:
