if ur using Slackware then its easy. then u dont have a problem thr coz it will gonna prompt on what group should the user be. but on RedHat and Mandrake, u have to 'adduser -g <group> <newuser>'

take a look at /etc/group .
The last number in a line is the group id.
then edit /etc/passwd and replace the last number in the line your username starts with, with the group id of the group u want to be inn. Also if u want to me in more than one group, u can add your username to the end of that groups line in /etc/group .
