SYNOPSIS
newgrp [ 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 calcula
tions 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.
