Has anyone experienced trouble using NetInfo and Multiple Groups?


I have a situation that I have defined 20 groups within an single  
directory.  The groups are defined with the root netinfo.

The groups are:

engl1:*:301:jjones,user1
engl2:*:302:jjones,user2
engl3:*:303:jjones,user3
engl4:*:304:jjones,user4
engl5:*:305:jjones,user5
engl6:*:306:jjones,user6
engl7:*:307:jjones,user7
engl8:*:308:jjones,user8
engl9:*:309:jjones,user9
engl10:*:310:jjones,user10
engl11:*:311:jjones,user11
engl12:*:312:jjones,user12
engl13:*:313:jjones,user13
engl14:*:314:jjones,user14
engl15:*:315:jjones,user15
engl:*:300:user1,user2,user3,user4,user5,user6,user7,user8,user9,user10,.. 
.user20
engl16:*:316:jjones,user16
engl17:*:317:jjones,user17
engl18:*:318:jjones,user18
engl19:*:319:jjones,user19
engl20:*:320:jjones,user20

I defined the group using niload.

Originally I setup about 15 of the groups.  I then added the additional 5  
users.  The original groups were recognized (I could use the groups to add  
read/write permisson to jjones).

After, I added additional groups.  I have had problems trying to access  
the additional groups (i.e., engl16...engl20) without any success.

Is there any limitation to the number of groups you can define?
Is there a limit of characters that you can name groups?


I have had this problem before.  I had to rebuild the network copy of the  
NetInfo and started to rebuild it from scratch.


Any information would be helpfull.  

Thanks
