Public bug reported:

On  Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS  
using 
Package: systemd
Architecture: amd64
Version: 229-4ubuntu21.10

Changes the group membership are not picked up by the systemd process
for a logged-in user or for a user with enable-linger set regardless of
login status.  Evidently the

  systemctl --user daemon-reexec

command preserves group membership across the daemon restart. This is
bad. It means that only a reboot or

  sudo loginctl terminate-user <user>

will update the group membership to the proper set. Both of those things
are extreme disruptions for a system/user that runs servers.

Can systemctl daemon-reexec be made to update group membership for the
user in the systemd process?
