Thanks, Keppy! I knew about groups command, but for some reason I missed that 
it can be given a username ;). 

No problem. When in doubt:

# man the_command_you_are_unsure_about

Regarding you query about having to re-login to initiate new user and
group settings. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but won't:
# su - username
   

In my case, I was looking for a way to not doing 'su' to root each time I use 
emerge (see my prev posts in this thread for a reason why).

Using su in this way does not log you in as root.

# su - keppy

will prompt me for my password and re-log me in as if it were a fresh 
login. ie. run all the login scripts again.
