group limit

hi,

i have in my /etc/group an unix group full.
i need to add new user in this group.
users need to have the same gid and the same name...

The lines can get very large. We have one with over 100 users. That line is 876 characters long. Are you sure yours is full? How can you tell?

But I once had luck with something like this...
Code:
adm::4:root,adm,daemon
admxx::4:more,user,names
The second line just has the same gid as the first. I got away with it so it may be worth a try.
