Hi! > Mmmm.. It's probably safest for us to not do this until Sarge+1. Won't > having NGROUPS set too high for older kernels cause us grief? I just asked because compiling glibc takes quite a long time and I have to watch out not to mix versions up...
I use glibc compiled with kernel headers from 2.6.5/2.6.6 on machines with either 2.6.2-6 or 2.4.24-26 for nearly a year now without problems; I had to compile all kernels I used before 2.6.4 with NGROUPS_MAX 512 (because that was the possible maximum for 2.4/2.6). What kind of trouble could a higher value in glibc cause? For me everything works fine; even 2.4 compiled with NGROUPS_MAX of 512 with a glibc compiled with kernel headers of 2.6.6 (which uses NGROUPS_MAX of 65K)... But I can't give any warranty that it will work anywhere... and I still can never be sure that there aren't any strange things happening that I didn't notice up to now! :-( Maybe you are right: wait for sarge+1...
