Right now, our newgrp is commandline compatible with Linux' newgrp from shadow-utils: - A single '-' reinitializes the environment. - The group must be given as name, not as GID.
Hi Corinnathe current version of newgroup is NOT doing so. It spins a new shell process $ pstree ?─┬─?───sshd ├─mintty───bash───pstree └─ssh-agent $ newgrp - Users $ pstree ?─┬─?───sshd ├─mintty───bash───bash───pstree └─ssh-agent Noticed as it is very easy to bomb the enviroment.
