Assuming you are using the standard /bin/sh, turning on the setuid bit
of /bin/newgrp is unlikely to have any impact since the newgrp command
is a built-in command (also built-in in ksh).  Without further details,
it is hard to say what might be the problem.  Suffice it to say that
newgrp works fine in SysV UNIX.
