Sounds like John just needs to log out and back in again. There's little effective difference between primary and supplementary groups.
It still doesn't work. However, I checked the group membership of john after applying "gpasswd -a john proj" and -- even after exit and creating a new terminal -- the command "groups" does not show proj. It only shows john as group, while f.i. root has a whole bunch of groups.
Is gpasswd the wrong utility here?
