This may sound simple But how to I list the users in groups

I can run this command

cat /etc/group | grep <groupname>

cating the groups will work but is very messy

is there a command that will work with openldap and nis and local users
somthing like groupuserlist <groupname>

looks I will have to right out a shell script

Don't know if the 'getent' command is available in whatever OS you are using but if it's there:

getent group

... will give you all groups listed in your naming service(s) of choice (i.e. files, LDAP, NIS) - depending on what the client you are running this command on is configured to point at for such info.
