NEWGRP(1)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            NEWGRP(1)



NAME
     newgrp - log in to a new group

SYNOPSIS
     newgrp group

DESCRIPTION
     _N_e_w_g_r_p changes the group identification of its caller,
     analogously to _l_o_g_i_n(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.

     A password is demanded if the group has a password and the
     user himself does not.

     _N_e_w_g_r_p is known to the shell, which executes it directly
     without a fork.

FILES
     /etc/group, /etc/passwd

SEE ALSO
     login(1), group(5)
