[lug] newgrp and aliases

[Jeffrey S. Haemer]

Davide,

Are you getting the infinite loop in (3) because "newgrp -" spawns a login
shell, which re-reads your .bash_profile, which executes "newgrp -", which
... ?

If so, just don't newgrp once you're in the right group. Put this at the
end of the .bash_login file instead:

current_group=$(id -g)
if [ $current_group -ne *<numeric id of desired group>* ]; then
  newgrp - *<name of desired group>*
fi
