I would like to know how to use the groups max limit, that is returned  from
_SC_NGROUPS_MAX, 32 for Linux and 0 for AIX. In version 3.0.7  Samba has
removed the control "if ((*num) >= groups_max())" from  function
"add_uid_to_array_unique", file rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c. So a
"SAMR_QUERY_GROUPMEM" call now returns correct number of members. But the
group_max limit is still used in function "getgroups_user", file
"lib/util_smbd.c. For this limit an user can't access the resource that  is
allowed for the group of the user but the user is a >32 member in  that
group.
