No, I mean egid. "Effective group identification."

Hrm.
Is this actually Linux specific?
Linux does some rather important things in a non-Unix, even
sometimes non-POSIX way, so it differs from proper Unix some times.
On the other hand, the "L" implies this is Linux specific...
Another explanation is that Linux is something of a moving target. I
get the impression that someone somewhere would like Linux to be
fully POSIX-compliant, but they're taking their time in effecting
that influence. So, things could have changed between whatever
kernel and userland the people writing your practice material used
and the kernel and userland you're currently using.
