newgrp(1) - log in to a new group
NAME
newgrp - log in to a new group
SYNOPSIS
newgrp [group]
DESCRIPTION
The newgrp command is used to change the current group ID during a login session. If the optional group argument is given, the effective group ID is changed to that group; otherwise the effective group ID is changed to the user's primary group from /etc/passwd.
If the user is not a member of the specified group, and the group has a password set in /etc/gshadow, the user will be prompted for the group password. Root always has access to any group without a password prompt.
A new shell is started with the changed group ID. The shell is determined by the SHELL environment variable, falling back to /bin/sh.
OPTIONS
None. Only an optional positional group name argument is accepted.
EXIT STATUS
- 0
- Success (though note that newgrp replaces the current process with a new shell via execv(2), so exit status 0 is not normally returned to the caller).
- 1
- Permission denied, group not found, or unable to execute shell.
FILES
- /etc/group
- Group account information.
- /etc/gshadow
- Secure group account information (for group passwords).
