Not sure what's wrong now - maybe log out then log back in even if you did it from the xterm.

Thanks, brett.
I've already done what I wanted -- using 'id username' and then 'usermod'.
Now I have another problem: Portage still says that user is not in 'portage' group...
'less /etc/group' shows that he is there, but 'emerge -s no-matter-what'
thinks in another way :).
Do I have to take some additional steps? I tried to exit from current xterm and login in another one but to no avail. It continues to think that I'm not in portage group....
Is there something I did wrong?
TIA, Dmitry.

Do cat /etc/group | grep username
where username is the user's name.
