Looks like ok there. So no way to change it?
No reasonable way. If you really need more than 16, better use another OS. As the net/samba port maintainer I thought about bumping NGROUPS_MAX, but this requires some non-trivial work that I don't plan to investigate before 6.0. And then it would not change anything about the NFS protocol limitations (that can be worked around by using only CIFS). -- jca | PGP: 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
