well if this is the case , is there a way of changing the number of 
groups a user can be a member of ? what i need is some advice on a work 
around for this, I have Google  and there in not much. see below

http://readlist.com/lists/lists.sourceforge.net/webadmin-list/1/7087.html

"Ok have do some hours of work since my last post and have discovered 
the following. When a virtual domain is created using virtualmin it 
creates a user and a group with the same name ie user name king1 and 
group king1. Then it adds the newly created group king1 to the www group 
which is fine see below. This is fine for awhile until to many groups 
are members of the www group and apache complains and will not start 
also see below. "
