Why do these two commands give different groups? It's the same user.

Gulshan AT GSJK-PC /etc
$ id Gulshan
uid=1000(Gulshan) gid=545(Users) groups=545(Users),0(root)

Gulshan AT GSJK-PC /etc
$ id
uid=1000(Gulshan) gid=545(Users) groups=545(Users),513(None)

Furthermore, the commands mkgroup and mkpasswd give the orginial states of
their corresponding files instead of what I changed them to. Why is that?
