|
.Pq real and effective group ID
|
|
by starting a new shell.
|
|
The user remains logged in and the current directory

|
the primary group change fails.

|
|

|
|
or the group ID associated with the group name.

|
If

|
.Ar group
|
|
is not specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
restores the user's real and effective group IDs to the user's
|
|
primary group specified in the password database.
|
|
The user's supplementary group IDs are restored to the set specified
|
|
for the user in the group database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the user is not a member of the specified group, and the group
|
|
requires a password, the user will be prompted for the group password.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
There is no convenient way to enter a password into
|
|
.Pa /etc/group .
|
|
The use of group passwords is strongly discouraged
|
|
since they are inherently insecure.
|
|
It is not possible to stop users from obtaining the encrypted
|
|
password from the group database.
