no - because it isn't needed, nor mandated.

Hi David,

I beg to differ. Can you justify such a statement, please?

I find that, if a user's group membership exceeds a certain small
arbitrary limit enforced by NFS then they must change their primary
Unix group. That's normally done with newgrp, or its equivalent.
Using newgrp is preferred because it has the benefit of having existed
since at least Version 7.

Thanks,

Paul
