Nested Groups in HP-UX -- Possible??
Can we create nested groups in HP-UX?
For Eg. if there are Group A, Group B and few users, Group C should contain Group A + some users.
Thanks in advance!

In short...
So, since the max number of users per group is 222, and if you were to create 2
groups, group1 and group2, with the same GID, and if you were to
add 200 users to each of group1 and group2, unix will see that
there are effectively 400 users under one GID and behave erratically as a
result.
As an aside, in 11.0, the group(4) man page indicates:
The length of each line in /etc/group is limited to LINE_MAX, as defined
in
their primary group - only in any secondary groups. If necessary, primary group
inventory can be calculated via the /etc/passwd file.

Make group1 = 200 users (let's say).
Make group2 = 200 users
Then group3 has the group1 and 2 name in it (not the users).

pww::108:
wwp::109:pww
I then ran a grpck command to verify the group file. It came back with the following:
# grpck
wwp::109:pww
pww - Logname not found in password file
So, trying to make the pww group part of the wwp group will not work.
