How Do I Active Secondary Groups at Login?

hp-ux 10.20.
When a user logs in, only his primary group is active. When he enters 'groups' at the command line, he sees only one group listed although he is a member of many groups. When he enters 'groups username', he sees the names of all the groups to which he belongs.

The users cannot perform tasks which rely on permissions associated to their secondary groups.
In AIX, all groups seem to be active by default. How can I activate the secondary groups for my hp-ux users?

Link /etc/logingroup to /etc/group

ln -s /etc/group /etc/logingroup

I think that should do it for you.
