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.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[segovia] [/home/gwhalin] > id<BR>uid=502(gwhalin) gid=539(cvs)id: cannot get supplemental group list: Invalid argument</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[segovia] [/home/gwhalin] > <BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and ...</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[segovia] [/home/gwhalin] > groups<BR>cvsid: cannot get supplemental group list: Invalid argument</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[segovia] [/home/gwhalin] ></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>So, this does not look correct.
