- hi netters,
- The problem is as follows :
-
- if a user is a member of more then one group ( i.e the userid is
- present in more then one line in /etc/group file ) and he wants to
- switch between one group to another group how does he do it ?
- The default groupid when he logs in is the one which is present in
- /etc/passwd file.
- I tried newgrp, but it doesnt work properly.
-
- ANY SUGGESTIONS
-
- Please mail to srangan@mailbox.syr.edu
-
- THANKS A BILLION
