Related to bug 251178 .

The FreeBSD su(1) does not provide a way to substitute group ID.

This is supported by NetBSD by specifying a group ID after : , and it requires the user to belong to the group.  With coreutils, the user can specify -g (primary group) and -G (supplemental group), but only root can use these.
