Nested Netgroups with LDAP

JGPSHNTAP — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:06:58 GMT

This question is for both 7-mode and cDOT.

Our LDAP Netgroups are nested, and can be 8 levels deep.

It appears im about of luck because all the nested groups expand and the character limit is what we hit

So, if UNIX_COMPUTERS is top level and i do

getXXbyYY netgrp UNIX_COMPUTERS servername

I get an error, but if I try a few levels up, it finds it.

Am I totally out of luck. What are others doing with large netgroups and LDAP
