I want to create a crontab for my account using "crontab -e". However
system tells me I have no permission to run crontab.  I checked the
"Gentoo Linux Cron Guide"_ and find that I must add my account to the
cron group to use crontab.  Follow the guide, I ran:

$ sudo gpasswd -a hongqn cron

and run "crontab -e" again.  But bash still tells me "Permission
denied".  It seems the system has not recoginized I am already a cron
group member immediately.  Maybe it reads a cache somewhere?  If so, how
can I flush that cache?
