    cat /etc/group | grep <groupname>

    Is that what you want?

    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.
