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???

tau_enable_group_name
TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAM(3) TAU Instrumentation API TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAM(3)
NAME
TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAME - Enables a group based on name
SYNOPSIS
C/C++:
TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAME(char *groupname);
Fortran:
TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAME(character groupname(size));
DESCRIPTION
TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAME macro can turn on the instrumentation associated with routines based on a dynamic group assigned to them. It is
important to note that this and the TAU_DISABLE_GROUP_NAME macros apply to groups created dynamically using TAU_GET_PROFILE_GROUP.
EXAMPLE
C/C++ :
/* tau_instrumentor was invoked with -g DTM for a set of files */
TAU_DISABLE_GROUP_NAME("DTM");
dtm_routines();
/* disable and then re-enable the group with the name DTM */
TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAME("DTM");
Fortran :
! tau_instrumentor was invoked with -g DTM for this file
call TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(profiler, "ITERATE>DTM")
call TAU_DISABLE_GROUP_NAME("DTM")
! Disable, then re-enable DTM group
call TAU_ENABLE_GROUP_NAME("DTM")
