Bug#439749: adduser: warn users that they need to logout and log back in after adding themselves to a new group
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.

I don''t think that a tool like adduser should try to teach users the basics of their systems.
