Subject: [gentoo-user] gpasswd not function immediately?

1 I want to create a crontab for my account using "crontab -e". However
2 system tells me I have no permission to run crontab. I checked the
3 "Gentoo Linux Cron Guide"_ and find that I must add my account to the
4 cron group to use crontab. Follow the guide, I ran:
5
6 $ sudo gpasswd -a hongqn cron
7
8 and run "crontab -e" again. But bash still tells me "Permission
9 denied". It seems the system has not recoginized I am already a cron
10 group member immediately. Maybe it reads a cache somewhere? If so, how
11 can I flush that cache?
