The group file should be OK; at least its never complained before. How would you increase the buffer anyway ? Presumably, its an option in the rc file...

Hello,
I'm trying to set up group quotas on my filer, but I keep getting the following message back :
tap> quota on Mon Jul 6 11:38:07 BST [rc]: getgrp: Input buffer not large enough quota: group name 'uk' not found (/etc/quotas line 7). quota: quotas not turned on. tap>
What is this getgrp thing and how can I enlarge the input buffer ?
Well, my GUESS is that the error, essentially, is saying that your entry for the group "uk" is too long. Normally I'd say check the group file on the filer but you mention NIS in the subject line, so I'd say check the group file on the NIS master.
The filer *should* be able to accept group lines as big as your UNIX server. Either your group line is actually too big on your UNIX server (in which case it probably was broken and you just didn't know it), or the filer's buffer needs to be increased. In the latter case, you'll have to wait for a patch or new release that has a bigger buffer.
