SETUP

       The groupmems executable should be in mode 2770 as user root and in group groups. The
       system administrator can add users to group groups to allow or disallow them using the
       groupmems utility to manage their own group membership list.

                $ groupadd -r groups
                $ chmod 2770 groupmems
                $ chown root.groups groupmems
                $ groupmems -g groups -a gk4

CONFIGURATION

       The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:

       MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP (number)
           Maximum members per group entry. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line)
           is started in /etc/group (with the same name, same password, and same GID).

           The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a
           group.

           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.

           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.
