Re: Wheezy: adding myself to the sudo group using usermod

Thanks to all who replied, and thanks for the flattering comments ;-)

The key for me was needing to do something like logging out and back in -- I 
haven't added myself to groups very often (if ever) (or manually created a 
user), and I just didn't think about something like that.

I like to think of myself as competent and experienced, but, with experience 
(and competence) comes age, and things like forgetfulness.

(I may ask another question in a few minutes which may make everyone question 
my competence ;-)
