Hi Bryan, I hope this helps a little. I am also affecting by this bug.
Our company are currently in the process of evaluating Ubuntu as a means of offering our empoyees the chance to work on a Linux OS. The problem occurs after I joined our company's domain, thus getting all my AD groups. I cannot publish the results of the getent group or password, but to give you an idea of the scale: groupoutput contains 343 entries. Of those entries, around 20 are ~2000 character in length (containing a large number of usernames) passwdoutput contains 35 entries with nothing spectacular. I would be very helpful if a solution could be found for 12.04 as the management would like to stay with the LTS Release. Thanks for all the good work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174444 Title: ps segfault when users have large numbers of group memberships (procps 3.2.8) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1174444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
