- Oof! It's been running for 28 hours now after I gutted my machine
- and replaced just about everything except the case.
-
- Anyway - has anyone noticed that newgrp ignores shell spec in
- /etc/passwd and execs sh always? Since i have my ksh environment
- nicely set up, that kinda screws me up and I have to manually exec ksh
- then.
-
- Anyone has any ideas? I just tried it on the SCO box here, and it works
- just fine (execs ksh, as I want it to).
-
- (To be quite honest, i would find the BSD way of not having to run
- newgrp the best of all).
