I just had to deal with this limitation and it was quite annoying to say
the least, it appears Samba is somewhat deliberately designed to give
you a hard time when you run into this limit, because as soon as you add
a user to more than 16 groups it declares the group file unreadable and
as a security measure shuts down all shares and authentication which
wrecks a network which relies on Samba.
Also as far as I know Solaris and Linux has long gone past this limitation.
Linux maybe, but not Solaris:
$ uname -sr
SunOS 5.10
$ grep groups /usr/include/limits.h
#define NGROUPS_MAX 16 /* max number of groups for a user */
cheers,
