Why does secondary group not work?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Why does secondary group not work? When a group in /etc/group has more than 126 members, this issue occurs.

Example of /etc/group:

testgrp:x:450:user1,user2,user3, ....,user127

"id user1" command doesn't display testgrp.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2
