    NEWGRP(I)                     4/8/75                    NEWGRP(I)

    NAME
         newgrp - log in to a new group

    SYNOPSIS
         newgrp group

    DESCRIPTION
         Newgrp changes the group identification of its caller, anal-
         ogously to login.  The same person remains  logged  in,  and
         the  current directory is unchanged, but calculations of ac-
         cess permissions to files are performed with respect to  the
         new group ID.

         A  password  is demanded if the group has a password and the
         user himself does not.

         When most users log in, they are members of the group  named
         `other.'

    FILES
         /etc/group, /etc/passwd

    SEE ALSO
         login(I), group(V)
