what am saying is this
when you do a cat /etc/group | grep (desire groupname)
you should get an output similar to this:
groupname::45:james,lola,jerry
the last names james, lola and jerry belong to the group called groupname.
my questions is, how come after using the usermod to change the group of my user, how come his name does not appear in the /etc/group as being a member of the group???
i mean if i added the user to the group called groupname, i would expect the damn username to be added right behind jerry. right???

REVOKE(7) SQL Commands REVOKE(7)
NAME
REVOKE - remove access privileges
SYNOPSIS
REVOKE { { SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE | RULE | REFERENCES | TRIGGER }
[,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON [ TABLE ] tablename [, ...]
FROM { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...]
REVOKE { { CREATE | TEMPORARY | TEMP } [,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON DATABASE dbname [, ...]
FROM { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...]
REVOKE { EXECUTE | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON FUNCTION funcname ([type, ...]) [, ...]
FROM { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...]
REVOKE { USAGE | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON LANGUAGE langname [, ...]
FROM { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...]
REVOKE { { CREATE | USAGE } [,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
ON SCHEMA schemaname [, ...]
FROM { username | GROUP groupname | PUBLIC } [, ...]
DESCRIPTION
REVOKE allows the creator of an object to revoke previously granted permissions from one or more users or groups of users. The key word
PUBLIC refers to the implicitly defined group of all users.
Note that any particular user will have the sum of privileges granted directly to him, privileges granted to any group he is presently a
member of, and privileges granted to PUBLIC. Thus, for example, revoking SELECT privilege from PUBLIC does not necessarily mean that all
users have lost SELECT privilege on the object: those who have it granted directly or via a group will still have it.
See the description of the GRANT [grant(7)] command for the meaning of the privilege types.
NOTES
Use psql(1)'s z command to display the privileges granted on existing objects. See also GRANT [grant(7)] for information about the format.
EXAMPLES
Revoke insert privilege for the public on table films:
REVOKE INSERT ON films FROM PUBLIC;
Revoke all privileges from user manuel on view kinds:
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON kinds FROM manuel;
COMPATIBILITY
SQL92
The compatibility notes of the GRANT [grant(7)] command apply analogously to REVOKE. The syntax summary is:
REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] { SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE | REFERENCES }
ON object [ ( column [, ...] ) ]
FROM { PUBLIC | username [, ...] }
{ RESTRICT | CASCADE }
If user1 gives a privilege WITH GRANT OPTION to user2, and user2 gives it to user3 then user1 can revoke this privilege in cascade using
the CASCADE keyword. If user1 gives a privilege WITH GRANT OPTION to user2, and user2 gives it to user3, then if user1 tries to revoke
this privilege it fails if he specifies the RESTRICT keyword.
