[gentoo-user] gpasswd not function immediately?

[gentoo-user] gpasswd not function immediately?

[Qiangning Hong]

I want to create a crontab for my account using "crontab -e". However
system tells me I have no permission to run crontab.  I checked the
"Gentoo Linux Cron Guide"_ and find that I must add my account to the
cron group to use crontab.  Follow the guide, I ran:

$ sudo gpasswd -a hongqn cron

and run "crontab -e" again.  But bash still tells me "Permission
denied".  It seems the system has not recoginized I am already a cron
group member immediately.  Maybe it reads a cache somewhere?  If so, how
can I flush that cache?

You need to log out and in again. The groups command will tell you which
groups you are a member of in the current shell.

yes, that's exactly what you should to make the command take effect.
