chakri,

This can not be changed:

check:

/usr/include/limits.h for LINE_MAX.

In UX11:
# define LINE_MAX 2048L /* Expected length in bytes of a utility's input line when input is from text files */

Hi Chakri,

Is there a problem in a specific group ?

You can solce this by adding a second group with the same groupid.

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

Hope it helps.

you can start other line with same group name and group id


users:2020:a,a,a,a,a,a
users:2020:b,b,b,b,b,b

Hi Chakri.

Haven't had trouble doing this. This is a known issue with HPUX and the character length of the groups in the group file. It is suppose to be 1024 characters in a group, but I have seen it barf at less. When doing add users, do a count on the number of characters in a group and if the number is exceeded, create a duplicate group with the same name, GID, etc, and add the new user entry in there.

My count has been 990 characters in a group. If it will be more than 990, make a new group
