A while ago, various net.people replied to my request to know how to change group within a shell script. Thanks and understood, at least I thought so. My understanding was that the "newgrp" command exec's a new shell with the new gid. Ok, so here's what I do: $ newgrp x $ stuff... $ exit Pow! I'm logged out, not returned to my original shell with the original gid. Why? [BTW: If these questions are amazing silly and trivial, would some kind soul whisper that to me....]
