In other words, I was not logged into a window system session and executing the commands from a subsequent terminal.  I was logged in via SSH with no other logins active.  I agree that this wouldn't work if you were logged in multiple times with the user you were trying to modify.  However on a terminal where the login is the only one and you become root via "sudo su -", it works and works fast.
