Linux has a "limitation" of 65K groups per user, and this has been true<br>
for many years now.<br>
<br>
If you use NFS with sys auth instead of krb5 auth then you have a<br>
limitation of 16 groups per user, but this is a protocol limitation<br>
valid for all OSs, it is not a limitation of Linux. And using krb5 auth<br>
there is no such limitation.<br>

We did some qualification/documentation testing on AIX a while back. All<br>
I can say is that AIX can work agains FreeIPA just fine, but I am in no<br>
way an AIX expert and the docs we have on <a href="http://freeipa.org" target="_blank">freeipa.org</a> are all I can tell<br>
you to use as I already forgot all the details we dicovered at the time<br>
we tested AIX :)<br>

Let me know if there is anything unclear about AIX clients in the<br>
documentation on <a href="http://freeipa.org" target="_blank">freeipa.org</a>.<br>
