Thanks for the input. We know that newgrp only works for the first 16 groups which are output by the groups command (sans this one problem group). The GID is in fact over 60000, but we have working groups in the 6-figure range above this group.
This problem group has a huge number of members. Can someone point me to a doc which covers the max members that Solaris can handle in a group? As I mentioned, Red Hat is fine with this group. THX

Hi,
I have to add the 'newgrp' command to my login (.cshrc) script.
The problem is that if I add it, it comes to infinite look, since newgrp opens new shell again and again.

sg
SG(1) User Commands SG(1)
NAME
sg - execute command as different group ID
SYNOPSIS
sg [-] [group [-c ] command]
DESCRIPTION
The sg command works similar to newgrp but accepts a command. The command will be executed with the /bin/sh shell. With most shells you may
run sg from, you need to enclose multi-word commands in quotes. Another difference between newgrp and sg is that some shells treat newgrp
specially, replacing themselves with a new instance of a shell that newgrp creates. This doesn't happen with sg, so upon exit from a sg
command you are returned to your previous group ID.
CONFIGURATION
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
SYSLOG_SG_ENAB (boolean)
Enable "syslog" logging of sg activity.
FILES
/etc/passwd
User account information.
/etc/shadow
Secure user account information.
/etc/group
Group account information.
/etc/gshadow
Secure group account information.
