Well, after running into a roadblock with the current default max number =
of groups per user (32) on our CVS server, I started making some =
modifications. I first updated the value of NGROUPS in =
/usr/include/linux/limits.h and /usr/include/asm/param.h and recompiled. =
This did not help. I then decided to recompile glibc-2.1. Now, cvs is =
behaving in that it is allowing permissions based on groups that were =
previously ignored due to the limits. This is good as it is giving me =
the functionality that I want. However, on the cvs server where these =
changes were made, I am noticing a strange occurence.

[segovia] [/home/gwhalin] > id
uid=3D502(gwhalin) gid=3D539(cvs)id: cannot get supplemental group list: =
Invalid argument

[segovia] [/home/gwhalin] > groups
cvsid: cannot get supplemental group list: Invalid argument

So, this does not look correct. Does anyone have any ideas on what I =
should have done? Or did I go about this in the correct way, but just =
need to do more? Any pointers to any help?
