I've just found out (the hard way) that NFS only supports the first 8
group of groups. Now (short of making a mess of the group file) I'm
stuck with doing `newgrp' to get access to files on remote machines.
This really p*sses me off.

It seems that everytime I hear something about NFS it's bad news:
either some security problems, bugs or just some stupid limitation.

It's almost as bad as Yellow Pages! (which also came from the people
that brought us NFS).

I don't suppose that HP/the rest of the world are going to come up
with some better protocol/network environment.
