Sure,
an example with the "info1" group (GID: 10000), 121 members

passwd:
[..]
quere:DM/xFa67a8EAE:10001:10000: Gilles.Quere + etud.info.a1.a.1
:/home/etud/info1/quere:/usr/bin/tcsh
cattiaux:L.zvewX45Y/qE:10002:10000: Rudy.Cattiaux + etud.info.a1.a.1
:/home/etud/info1/cattiaux:/usr/bin/tcsh
[..]

group:
[..]
info1:etud.info.a1 + mailens +
/home/etud/%group%/%user%:10000:quere,cattiaux,<snip>(121 users)
[..]

this is what i meant by "adding the user in the group file" (which
normally isn't needed since "info1" is their primary group)

so you get:
~ 33 > id quere
uid=10001(quere) gid=10000(info1) groups=10000(info1)


This works until that particular line of the group file grows
too much, and overflows the AIX and SunOS clients...
What I will try is to split the users in different groups, but
with the same GID, and I will duplicate the policies. that way
the lines won't be too long, and they will still be able
to write in their forums directories. If anyone has a better idea
please let know.

I hope it is clearer this time.. let me know if I failed :)
