Is there a limit to how many groups a user can be a member of?

I'm using FreeBSD 4.7 for our web server

I work for a school district and some schools have 1 main web master and then a number of teachers who maintain sites under that main school account. I want the main web master to be able to edit all of the teacher sites in their own accounts, but I don't want it the other way around.

as of right now, I can only have the master account be a member of 14 "teacher" groups. once I hit 15, the master account can't log in over FTP and it causes problems with netatalk.

Is this a known limit or is there something I can do about it so that the 1 main webmaster account can have access to all 20 teacher accounts?

Thanks

Chris

yes there is a limit.. i think it is 16, but i'm not certain.

i'm fairly new to *BSD, but here's what i would try:

giver ownership of these files to some group.. and make the web master a member of that group.
the teachers don't have to be a member of the group, because they have ownership of the files as users.
