25       users in group1, and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3

NOTES

35       By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including comman‐
36       dline specified groups). This limit is defined  by  MAX_GROUPS  in  the
37       source code.

KNOWN ISSUES

45       Does  not  understand  gid aliased groups sometimes used to work around
46       groups size limitations. If you are using gid aliased groups  then  you
47       must specify each alias by name.
