New submission from Ernst Persson:
Nis (applications?) has a line limit in the "group" entry, so you can't
have very long lines (=many users)
The way to solve this is to put aliases in the group map, like this:
MY_GROUP::123:user1,user2
MY_GROUP::123:user3,user4
This is supported by the OS, grp.getgrall(), etc, but
nis.cat("group")
only puts the last entry into the dict it returns.
I guess the best thing if you want to return a dict is to merge the
members if both the name and gid matches.
