Hi, all, The command newgrp exists on SysV inspired systems such as RISC/os and Red Hat GNU/Linux. Its purpose is to change the effective gid of the user running the command. The user may choose only from the groups he/she is a member of. What is the BSD equivalent, if any? Please cc me, as I'm not currently subscribed to this list. BTW, is the use of the password field in the group file implemented in FreeBSD, or other Unices for that matter? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 3.5-S & Pine 4.31 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
