NFS and >16 secondary gids

[Curtis Larson_1]

I was wondering if anyone has seen problems with NFS and users with > 16 gids.

from patch PHNE_22642:

JAGad09968
The function authunix_create() calls abort(} if more than 16 groups are passed in args (gids).
Resolution:
Replaced abort() code with return(NULL). This prevents code from dumping.

while this fix prevents the code for dumping, I'm thinking that a NULL isn't going to return the expected results either.

Does anyone have any experience with this situation. And would like to share what their results have been?

Curtis,

I read up on that issue just earlier this week, and I agree with you that the resolution does seem to solve the problem. I haven't done any testing, but then again I try to stay away from NFS mounting unless absolutely necessary, and usually only for short periods of time.
