Aucbvax.4463 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Thu Oct 15 22:39:50 1981 Group ID bit masks >From Mike.Accetta@CMU-10A Thu Oct 15 21:45:33 1981 We have far more than 16 groups in use at our site. Doesn't the proposed group ID bit mask more or less imply that 16 is the upper limit on groups or am I missing something in the suggestion? Such a limit would certainly not be acceptable for us although multiple groups at a time would be quite useful. I don't know if anyone has considered it, but (in my opinion) such an feature should also not require that you belong to all the groups of which you are a member, but these should be selectively enabled/disabled.
