Dear All:

The newgrp command seems simple to use. However, I could not use it or I did
not know how to use it.

Could someone please explain me what teh problem is? I was logged in as an
ordinary user and type the command:
$ newgrp users
It asked me for the group password and I entered it but it said: "Permission
denied".

Regards,
Vidol
