Kernel 32 group limitation
Hi,
We are runing Redhat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 ( kernel 2.4.9-e.40) on a
Dell 2650 box. There is a need in our application for a user to belong
to more than 32 groups. Is there a way to recompile the kernel to
support more than 32 supplementary groups ?

New Linux 2.6 kernels support >32 groups per user. The libc also needs to be recompiled for >32 support.
So I guess you're out of luck with RHEL AS 2.1. I'm not sure about RHEL 3 support either..
