+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+      Maximum members per group entry. When the maximum is reached, a new
+      group entry (line) is started in <filename>/etc/group</filename>
+      (with the same name, same password, and same GID).
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the
+      number of members in a group.
+    </para>
+    <!-- Note: on HP, split groups have the same ID, but different
+               names. -->
+    <para>
+      This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in
+      the group file. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS
+      groups are not larger than 1024 characters.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the
+      Shadow toolsuite). You should not use this variable unless you really
+      need it.
