 Ok. Maybe something was fubared with your files. Let see. Go to console and 
do something like this:

emil at rohan:~$ cat /etc/passwd | grep emil
emil:x:1000:1003:Emil Oppeln-Bronikowski,,,:/home/emil:/bin/bash

 Replace emil with your user name. Third value separated with : is you user 
ID. Next one is a group ID. But please, don't play with it, it's your main 
group. 

 Now I'll use our server at work to show you have to set users to share one 
group:

opi at panteon]:[opi] $ cat /etc/passwd | grep Oppeln
opi:x:32718:104:Emil Oppeln-Bronikowski,,,:/home/tpnets/opi:/bin/bash2

 opi's my login at this box

[opi at panteon]:[opi] $ cat /etc/group | grep opi
staff:x:104:tombi,kierzko,zboj,opi,thung,henio,wojciech
webmnc:x:118:opi,thung,zboj,kierzko
trusted:x:666:zboj,tombi,kierzko,opi
compilers:x:667:zboj,kierzko,opi

 See? /etc/groups file has a ,,compilers'' group that allows us to use GCC. 
Next you have X, Group ID and a list of users that are members of 
a ,,compilers''.

 You can try to do it from hand. :-)

audio:x:GID:you,someone,else

 RENEMBER! Backup files in /etc/ before you start to edit'em. :)
