NEWGRP(I) 4/8/75 NEWGRP(I)
NAME
 newgrp - log in to a new group
SYNOPSIS
 newgrp group
DESCRIPTION
 Newgrp changes the group identification of its caller, anal-
 ogously to login. The same person remains logged in, and
 the current directory is unchanged, but calculations of ac-
 cess permissions to files are performed with respect to the
 new group ID.
 A password is demanded if the group has a password and the
 user himself does not.
 When most users log in, they are members of the group named
 `other.'
FILES
 /etc/group, /etc/passwd
SEE ALSO
 login(I), group(V)
