<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.&nbsp; I first updated the value of NGROUPS in
/usr/include/linux/limits.h and /usr/include/asm/param.h and recompiled.&nbsp;
This did not help.&nbsp; I then decided to recompile glibc-2.1.&nbsp; Now, cvs
is behaving in that it is allowing permissions based on groups that were
previously ignored due to the limits.&nbsp; This is good as it is giving me the
functionality that I want.&nbsp; However, on the cvs server where these changes
were made, I am noticing a strange occurence.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>So, this does not look correct.&nbsp; Does
anyone have any ideas on what I should have done?&nbsp; Or did I go about this
in the correct way, but just need to do more?&nbsp; Any pointers to any
help?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
