The Object Spawner will fail to start the Stored Process Server on Unix
if the "sassrv" user account is a member of more groups than is
specified in NGROUPS_MAX.

This SAS Note assumes that your Stored Process Server's "Login" user
account is "sassrv", which is the default.  If your Stored Process
Server is using a different "Login" account, then when reading this
note, substitute your account name in place of "sassrv".

If you encounter this problem, the following WARNING message will be
displayed in your Object Spawner's log file:

   WARNING: An error occurred while server (xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx) was
            starting.  Now attempting a different server.

This WARNING message is fairly general; it simply means that the Object
Spawner attempted to start the Stored Process Server, but failed.  There
are various other scenarios that are also associated with this WARNING
message.  For example, if the "sas_SPS.sh" file is not found, or
"sassrv" does not have permission to execute the "sas_SPS.sh" file, the
same WARNING message will occur.

You can determine the value of NGROUPS_MAX by running the following
command from a Unix command prompt:

   > grep NGROUPS_MAX /usr/include/*.h

Run the following command from a Unix command prompt to determine the
number of groups in which "sassrv" is a member:

   > groups sassrv

If the number of groups in which "sassrv" is a member exceeds the
returned value of NGROUPS_MAX, then "sassrv" must be removed from the
number of groups which exceeds the NGROUPS_MAX value in order for the
Object Spawner to successfully start the Stored Process Server.
