OK, thanks for the reply.

But would what I want be used by any other sudo users?

Many of the things I use sudo for would be better done by
choosing a different set of groups to use.  This way the
ownership of files and hence auditibility is enhanced.

BTW, another reason I came up with my hat/setgroups program
is that NFS doesn't like more than 16 groups.  But I'd like
to belong to more than 16 groups -- we have a big machine with
many developers and projects.  This would be workable if I didn't 
belong to all 16+ groups at the same time.

Think of it as a enhanced newgrp(1).
