Is there a package which provides /usr/bin/sg (execute shell commands
in a different group)?
The POSIX standard command is newgrp - install cygwin-doc to see Cygwin (and
newlib libc) man pages (and info, html, PDF docs), man-pages-posix to see POSIX
man pages, and man-pages-linux if you want to see recent Linux release man
pages.
Debian /usr/bin/sg (setgid analog to /usr/bin/su) comes from the
package "login" (https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/login), same
package as /usr/bin/newgrp. So maybe it just needs to be packaged by
whoever owns the Cygwin package for /usr/bin/newgrp?
The Linux package is all about PAM hooks and other Linux stuff.
As with BSD, login authentication is delegated to the underlying OS, in this
case MS Windows, so any such utilities have to be rewritten, using the
underlying emulation or OS access layers, or additions to them.
