Maximum number of users in a group
Maximum number of users in a group
Is there a maximum number of users that can be in a group? I have added over 200 users into 1 group (as a secondary group)and when calling id in a user where the group is the primary the group name is not displayed. EG:
DEV iraxxxxx :# id
uid=554(xfermde4) gid=203()
When calling id in a group where the group is a secondary group it is not displayed at all: EG:
DEV iraxxxxx :# id
uid=700(mt10tpr) gid=101(modes)
Can this be resolved?

Re: Maximum number of users in a group
Hi,
The length of each line in /etc/group is limited to LINE_MAX, as defined in. Because of this limit, users should not be listed in their primary group - only in their additional groups.
man 4 group
grep LINE_MAX /usr/include/limits.h
$ define LINE_MAX 2048L /* Expected length in bytes of a
$ define _POSIX2_LINE_MAX 2048 /* Unless otherwise noted, the maximum
rgs,
