And with linux NFS only allowing 15 groups, I don't want to waste any unnecessary (audio, cdwriter, video,usb) groups on stuff that is of no relevevance on the rest of the network (as opposed to adm, wheel, etc). Does NFSv4 in 2.5 support more than 15 NFS groups? I'm already bumping my head against this, I am in abuot 20 groups, and some of the last 5 are used on NFS ... so files owned by those groups are inacessible to me via NFS.
