Package: adduser
Version: 3.104
Severity: wishlist
If you add yourself to a group, it doesn't take effect until you log out and
log back in. adduser should warn about that since it is such a common problem
and so many people get bitten by this at some point.

Greetings:
This bug has been tagged as "wontfix" since 2011 with no further
discussion. Enough time has passed to justify closing it.
Indeed, users normally must start a new session when their group
memberships have changed before the updates take effect. This is
expected behavior, and any admin invoking "adduser" should be aware of
this requirement.
The "adduser" tool is already chatty. I hope to see the program quiet
down with its output as we make progress with updates. Adding another
diagnostic should be done very carefully, in my opinion.
I think closing this issue is reasonable at this time. Let me know if
there are problems with this decision.
Thanks!
