pam list size limit?

[Jon Miller]

Are you sure the issue is with pam_access? How many entries do you get when
you run "getent group <grpname>" ?
Finally, what level SP are you at on your SLES10 machine? If you're not at
SP2, you could try updating to that. I've found SP2 to have solved a lot of
issues.
