Does Kernel 2.6.6 support more than 32 groups?

We need a Linux kernel to support more than 32 groups.
The 2.6.6 kernel source file include/linux/limits.h
contains the line:

define NGROUPS_MAX 65536 /* supplemental group
IDs are available*/

I also changed

#define NGROUPS_SMALL 32

to

#define NGROUPS_SMALL 256

in include/linux/sched.h file.

But when I compiled it on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0
(with glibc-2.3.2-95.20) it still gives 32 group
limitation. What else do I need to change? Do I need
to modify glibc? If so how?

I'd appreciate your help.

Brian
