         Original Question:
         
         Is it possible to toggle the default maximum number of groups a user
         can be in ?
            
         Currently my users cannot be in more groups than 16.

    Answer:

    The command "getconf NGROUPS_MAX" returns 16. You can increase this
    up to 32 by setting ngroups_max in /etc/system (and rebooting) *but*
    you will upset NFS (if you use it) which has a maximum of 16.

    You might be able to get round it by using acls and/or roles instead.
