Wheezy: adding myself to the sudo group using usermod

Show all headers | View raw

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] - view raw

(On Wheezy) I've been trying to add myself to the sudo group with the usermod 
command.

As root, I've tried most of the permutations of this:

usermod -a -G sudo <username>

None of them have worked -- any suggestions?

(I have checked using groups (as username), and even have opened fresh 
terminals.  Hmm, maybe I have to reboot?  I hope not, I don't want to do that 
in the near future.)
