NEWGRP(1) User Commands NEWGRP(1)
newgrp - log in to a new group
newgrp [group]
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 calculations 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.
/etc/group
/etc/passwd
