<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DD>The
|
|
<B>newgrp</B>
|
|
command is used to change the current group ID during a login session. If the optional
|
|
<B>-</B>
|
|
flag is given, the user's environment will be reinitialized as though the user had logged in, otherwise the current environment, including current working directory, remains unchanged.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>newgrp</B>
|
|
changes the current real group ID to the named group, or to the default group listed in
|
|
/etc/passwd
|
|
if no group name is given.
|
|
<B>newgrp</B>
|
|
also tries to add the group to the user groupset. If not root, the user will be prompted for a password if she does not have a password (in
|
|
/etc/shadow
|
|
if this user has an entry in the shadowed password file, or in
|
|
/etc/passwd
|
|
otherwise) and the group does, or if the user is not listed as a member and the group has a password. The user will be denied access if the group password is empty and the user is not listed as a member.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If there is an entry for this group in
|
|
/etc/gshadow, then the list of members and the password of this group will be taken from this file, otherwise, the entry in
|
|
/etc/group
|
|
is considered.
