Naming a Group
A group has two names: a full name and a short name.
m The full group name, which is used for display purposes only, can contain no more than
255 bytes. Since full group names support various character sets, the maximum number
of characters for full group names can range from 255 Roman characters to as few as 85
characters (for character sets in which characters occupy up to 3 bytes).
For example, English Department Students.
