No, you don't need to reboot... but you do need to logout (which might
be close to the same thing).  Group modifications are only applied to
new user sessions; you can see this with the "id" command.

For terminal stuff, you can get away with re-authenticating that
terminal, like "exec sudo -su $(id -un)".
