In order for a new group assignment to take effect after a usermod, you need to either log out and in again or do a newgrp - and not merelynewgrp as described in the document linked to here.
newgrp -
newgrp
As per the manpage for newgrp: """ The newgrp command is used to change the current group ID during a login session. If the optional - flag is given, the user's environment will be reinitialized as though the user had logged in, otherwise the current environment, including current working directory, remains unchanged. """"
Thanks! Have a nice day. -taw
This is a good catch — thanks. In fact, we probably should not recommend "newgrp" at all, since that doesn't quite do what people expect and has unintended consequences. It's an old command which predates the idea that you could be in more than one group at a time (!) and the semantics reflect that.
