[TUHS] Who's behind the UNIX filesystem permission

[Lyndon Nerenberg]

Two things killed off the adoption of groups as a widely-deployed
ACL mechanism:

1) NFS, specifically its limits on the number of supplimentary groups
   the protocol supported,

2) Kernel limits on the number of supplimentary groups associated with
   a process (e.g. NGROUPS_MAX)
