Thanks. It's kind of short. However, it seems clear from this link (http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_04.html) that a user can use newgrp command successfully only if the new group (s)he would like to switch to is already a secondary group for the user.
That's true for switching without needing a password. If the group does have a password, a user who is _not_ a member of that group should be able to switch to that group by supplying the password. It works fine for me in FC-3. Perhaps it's an SELinux issue. I have SELinux disabled on my system. Check your logs for AVC messages. -- Bob Nichols Yes, "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
