OK, I give up (again). Is there a way to become a valid member of a
group without logging out and logging in again? I know that logout,
login will work, but that is painful if you have a lot of other things
going on.
Of course, after modifying /etc/group to join said group. But
newgrp(1) will not do it, and a program that insists on being run only
by members of its own private group won't let me in.
