I have a couple of users that need to be able to have access to more then 32 groups. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can give these users access to certain directories all of which have their own group without modifying the Kernel ngroup limit? You may want to look into acl's. They offer more flexibility than standard permissions, but they require a kernel build and of the several flavors available, I'm not aware of one that has a lot of support from the kernel folks. I've been waiting for a particular version to gain momentum before I implemented acl's. Its a lot like waiting for a Journaling file system and ext3 got the nod. Bill Gradwohl [email protected] (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com I am trying to stay away from ACL's currently until RedHat supports them. I had read somewhere that RedHat 8.0 has this functionality but is unstable and not well tested, but 8.1 (Phoebe) is suppose to include them. It would be nice if I can figure out a way to make my current setup work until ACL's are included with RedHat. -Dennis
