Description of problem: The description of builtin "newgrp" is "newgrp [-] group", it shows that argument "group" is necessary, but actually it is optional. In newgrp(1), "group" is optional too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tcsh-6.15.00 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.[test@localhost ~]$newgrp 2.[test@localhost ~]$echo $? 0 Actual results: It is executed successfully. Expected results: An error message is outputed and the return value is not 0. Additional info:
Created attachment 297148 [details] This is a patch fixing the bug.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The error has been fixed and this request has been re-proposed for the current release.
Will be proposed to upstream.
Proposed to upstream: http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=119
Accepted by upstream (tcsh 6.17.07b).
Bugfix was successfully verified on tcsh617-6.17-5.el5 package. Group parameter for newgrp builtin is new marked as optional (newgrp [-] [group]).
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Prior to this update, the tcsh(1) man page inaccurately stated that it is mandatory to use the "group" option when using the "newgrp" built-in command. The corrected statement now says that using "group" is optional.
