I think the problem is the limit in /usr/include/
So I guess the text line of one group line cannot exceed 8191 characters.
Workarounds:
1. You can split the group. Two group names with the same GID, and distribute the users on them.
2. You can download the newgrp.c from Opensolaris, it seems to not adhere to this limit, instead uses malloc() to store even the biggest lines.

The problem is that if I add it, it comes to infinite look, since newgrp opens new shell again and again.

Currently I'm thinking of a condition that... (2 Replies)

sg
SG(1) User Commands SG(1)NAME
sg - execute command as different group ID
SYNOPSIS
sg [-] [group [-c ] command]
DESCRIPTION
The sg command works similar to newgrp but accepts a command. The command will be executed with the /bin/sh shell. With most shells you may
run sg from, you need to enclose multi-word commands in quotes. Another difference between newgrp and sg is that some shells treat newgrp
specially, replacing themselves with a new instance of a shell that newgrp creates. This doesn't happen with sg, so upon exit from a sg
command you are returned to your previous group ID.
CONFIGURATION
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
SYSLOG_SG_ENAB (boolean)
Enable "syslog" logging of sg activity.
FILES
/etc/passwd
User account information.
/etc/shadow
Secure user account information.
/etc/group
Group account information.
/etc/gshadow
Secure group account information.
