Maximum members per group entry. When the maximum is reached, a new
|

|
group entry (line) is started in <filename>/etc/group</filename>

This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in
|
||
|
|
the group file. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS
|
||
|
|
groups are not larger than 1024 characters.

<para>

|
If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25.

Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the
|
||
|
|
Shadow toolsuite. You should not use this variable unless you really
|
||
|
|
need it.
