[Fedora-directory-users] strange problem with group of more than 2000 users

[George Holbert]

Basile,
This might be a limitation of the client operating systems, and not the 
directory server.
I believe the maximum size for a group in Solaris 8 is 4096 characters, 
regardless of whether the group is coming from /etc/group, LDAP, or 
wherever else.

I'm not sure what the limit is for recent Linuxes or Solaris > 8, but it 
may well also be around 4096 chars.

So, while your LDAP directory is capable of storing much larger groups, 
you may need to break them up into chunks to appease your client OSes.
