Thanks Derek

A couple of questions

How do you do this in PTS in 1.2.13

What is the cause of this limit?

Is it replication or the admin tools?

The reason I ask is that Windows 2000 AD had group membership limits 
that you could work around if you carefully controlled where you allowed 
group modification to occur (i.e. force it to be single master for 
changes).

If there is no work around we could use group of group structures later 
when they are in the stable version of AFS and/or we can break up the 
400 large groups that are actually needed.

This raises the question how many group/users can be listed in an ACL?
