* gnu/system.scm (%setuid-programs): Add 'sg' and 'newgrp'.
---

Without it 'newgrp' is unusable:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ whoami
bricewge
$ cat /etc/group | grep wireshark
wireshark:x:970:bricewge
$ groups
users libvirt adbusers plugdev kvm lp netdev audio video input dialout wheel
$ newgrp wireshark
setgroups: Operation not permitted
setgid: Operation not permitted
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I also added 'sg' since, in the shadow package, it's a symlink to 'newgrp'.
