Max users in a group ?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a maximum limit to the number of users that can be assigned to a group. I currently have on a production server 900+ users in 1 group. I know some of these users are no longer valid as we only have 500 employees and not all employees use this application.

We need to have these users as the application requires a valid Unix user to authenticate against.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew.
