ID FROM SHELLUTIL-1.7
Hi!

I have a simple question about id:

If I write 
$id bjornw
uid=1175(bjornw) gid=120(student) groups=160(X)
$newgrp X
$id bjornw
uid=1175(bjornw) gid=120(student) groups=160(X)

Is this the right behaviour of id or should it produce this output:
uid=1175(bjornw) gid=160(X) groups=120(student)
since I'm now group 'X' rather than group 'student' ?
