x3550 ServeRAID-8k and FBSD 7, group limit

[Yury Michurin]

First of all thank you for the replay =)
You have any idea what other alternatives I have for the group limit?

I want to implement a webserver that running under www/www, and can read
directory of user1/user1 (user/group)
by adding www to user1's group, so far so good, except the group limit =)
