This is a ^ summary regarding a limit of 1024 characters to the group file.
There seems to be several problems related to this issue:
1. vi limits the length of a line to 1024 characters.
a single group in
2. There is a limit of 1024 characters to ^ the group file. (SUN bug #1050629)
3. If you're using NIS, there is a dbm limit of 1024 entries/key when
using makedbm. (SUN bug #10359917)
I checked with SUN about both of these bugs and there are no fixes.
Most respondents work around this problem by creating several groups
with the same GID.
