.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl l

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility creates a new shell execution environment with modified
|
|
real and effective group IDs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Simulate a full login.
|
|
The environment and umask are set to what would be expected if the user
|
|
actually logged in again.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar group
|
|
operand is present, a new shell is started with the specified effective
|
|
and real group IDs.
|
|
The user will be prompted for a password if they are not a member of the
|
|
specified group.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Otherwise, the real, effective and supplementary group IDs are restored to
|
|
those from the current user's password database entry.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility attempts to start the shell regardless of whether group IDs
|
|
were successfully changed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If an error occurs and the shell cannot be started,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits >0.
|
|
Otherwise, the exit status of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the exit status of the shell.
