If the optional + 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. + + + + newgrp 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. + newgrp 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. + + + + 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. + + + + + CONFIGURATION + + The following configuration variables in + /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this + tool: + + + &SYSLOG_SG_ENAB; + + + + + FILES + + + /etc/passwd + + User account information. + + + + /etc/shadow + + Secure user account information. + + + + /etc/group + + Group account information. + + + + /etc/gshadow + + Secure group account information. + + + + + + + SEE ALSO + + + id1 + , + + login1 + , + + su1 + , + + sg1 + , + + gpasswd1 + , + + group5 + , + + gshadow5 + + . + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
