Can you mail me the output of this command(the file sgmanpage)?

man sg > sgmanpage

Also, I'm curious exactly the output of the following few lines(you can 
run them from a normal login):

touch somefile-me
sg dev_group_name touch somefile-devgroup
ls -al somefile*

What shell are you using? bash, ksh, ash, zsh, csh, etcsh ;)
