maximun number of users in an nis group?
Hi,
Could some one pls tell maximum how many of the users can be added in a single NIS+ Group?
Iam facing anissue because of that.
OR from the nis+ master server how can I identify which file contains the information [how many users can accomaodate in the same group]
Thanks for your quick reply.
Google is not giving the answer for this..
Many thanks

Hi,
If you mean the limit of users , I do not think so any restriciton of limit NIS+ user numbers. But if you weant to count NIS+ users you can count the lines related NIS user in /etc/passwd files;
# cat /etc/passwd | grep "^+" | wc -l

I don't use NIS+, just NIS and I had a problem when tried to increase number of a group members to some hundreds (200 - 300). Ypmake could not update the map. So I've found the following workaround:
For the same GID I created more than one entry in the /etc/groupo file and, e.g.
wheel:*:1010:user1,
wheela:*:1010:user100,
wheelb:*:1010:user400,
etc.
In such a case SAM adds users to the first entry, and usernames from it can be moved down to the additional entries.

Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity - RTFM
