One of the respondents asked for an explanation of UNIVERSAL groups. A group
profle has a size limit and can only hold about 6,000 user connections. If a
group is expected to have more user connects than this, it can be defined as
a UNIVERSAL group. This can only be done at the time the group is created
with the ADDGROUP command. With a UNIVERSAL group, ordinary user connections
with AUTHORITY(USE) are not recorded in the group profile. Therefore, such a
group can have an unlimited number of such connections. 

Regards, Bob
