What command line did you use? A user can only have one primary group
(-g), but can be in multiple groups (-G).
-g group Set the account's primary group to the given group. gro=
up
may be defined by either its name or group number.
-G grouplist Set additional group memberships for an account. groupl=
ist
is a comma, space or tab-separated list of group names or
group numbers. The user's name is added to the group lists
in /etc/group, and removed from any groups not specified in
grouplist. Note: a user should not be added to their pri=E2=80=
=90
mary group with grouplist. Also, group membership changes
do not take effect for current user login sessions, requir=E2=80=
=90
ing the user to reconnect to be affected by the changes.
Cheers
Tom
