Name
newgrp — log in to a new group
DESCRIPTION
Newgrp changes
the group identification of its caller, analogously to
login(1). The same person
remains logged in, and the current directory is unchanged,
but calculations of access permissions to files are performed
with respect to the new group ID.
If no group is specified, the GID is changed to the login
GID.
FILES
/etc/group
/etc/passwd
SEE ALSO
login(1),
group(5)
