Hi Corinnathe current version of newgroup is NOT doing so.
It spins a new shell process

$ pstree
?─┬─?───sshd
   ├─mintty───bash───pstree
   └─ssh-agent

$ newgrp - Users

$ pstree
?─┬─?───sshd
   ├─mintty───bash───bash───pstree
   └─ssh-agent


Noticed as it is very easy to bomb the enviroment.

Marco
