how to increase: hack the kernel? I'm thinking that 32 groups is a fundamental unix/linux limitation, but I cannot find a document or reference to support that assumption. I come from a minicomputer environment that had a somewhat different take on the concept of "groups", but in either case, there really wasn't much need for "a lot" of groups [nor for a single user to be a "member" of more than one] If you're trying to integrate a single user into more than 32 groups, I'd rethink your group strategy -- something is not right with that scenario...
