I don't see any mention of usermod in the handbook, so I'm not sure where this came from. As mgorny pointed out, you are invoking usermod incorrectly. You want this instead: usermod -aG portage <your user> Don't use "id" to list group members. That lists groups of which a user is a member. Use getent instead: getent group portage
