System: NetBSD bugs 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (GENERIC) #0: Sat May 8 20:54:59 PDT 1999 root2@c610:/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/GENERIC mac68k


>Description:
	
	The historic newgrp command is missing.  This allows the user to
	spawn a shell with a new primary group.  This capability remains useful
	despite other solutions involving setid bits on directories.  It provides
	better compatibility with other systems where interoperability and
	sharing of scripts are concerns.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	which newgrp
	ls {/usr/bin,/bin,/usr/sbin,/sbin}/newgrp
>Fix:
	
	Recover the old newgrp sources from the NetBSD archives (e.g. on
	gatekeeper), compile, and distribute the binary and man page.
