Besides Jon's response, keep in mind that recent changes to the
/etc/group file does not affect any currently running shells.  Typing
simply "groups" in your "mahmood@N100" shell would confirm if that
instance picked up the change or not.  If the change wasn't picked up,
log out that account and log back in.
