Nis (applications?) has a line limit in the "group" entry, so you can't have very long lines (=many users) The way to solve this is to put aliases in the group map, like this: MY_GROUP::123:user1,user2 MY_GROUP::123:user3,user4 This is supported by the OS, grp.getgrall(), etc, but nis.cat("group") only puts the last entry into the dict it returns. I guess the best thing if you want to return a dict is to merge the members if both the name and gid matches.
