Synopsis: initgroups() has arbitrary restriction

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: millert
State-Changed-When: Tue Nov 13 13:47:14 MST 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
Sorry, NGROUPS is used throughout the tree and we have no intention of
changing everything to use that sysctl.  Not only is it not portable
(the portable way would be to use sysconf()) but it could create
a whole host of security holes.
