HPUX</A -></H1 -><P ->HP's implementation of supplementary groups is, er, non-standard (for -hysterical reasons). There are two group files, /etc/group and -/etc/logingroup; the system maps UIDs to numbers using the former, but -initgroups() reads the latter. Most system admins who know the ropes -symlink /etc/group to /etc/logingroup (hard link doesn't work for reasons -too stupid to go into here). initgroups() will complain if one of the -groups you're in in /etc/logingroup has what it considers to be an invalid -ID, which means outside the range [0..UID_MAX], where UID_MAX is (I think) -60000 currently on HP-UX. This precludes -2 and 65534, the usual 'nobody' -GIDs.</P -><P ->If you encounter this problem, make sure that the programs that are failing -to initgroups() be run as users not in any groups with GIDs outside the -allowed range.</P -><P ->This is documented in the HP manual pages under setgroups(2) and passwd(4).</P -><P ->On HPUX you must use gcc or the HP Ansi compiler.

Performance would degrade to the point where processes would -get into loops of trying to lock a file. It woul try a lock, then fail, -then try again.
