listing members of a unix group

I know there is a "groups" command to list the groups a user belongs to, but how about the opposite? Is there a standard command to find out which users belong to a particular group?

NAME
netgroup - list of network groups DESCRIPTION
File defines network-wide groups, and is used for permission checking when executing remote mounts, remote logins, and remote shells. For remote mounts, the information in classifies machines; for remote logins and remote shells, it classifies users. Each line of the file defines a group. The items on a line may be separated by a combination of one or more spaces or tabs. The line has the format groupname member1 member2 ... where memberi is either another group name, or a triple. If any of these three fields is left empty, it signifies a wildcard. Thus defines a group to which everyone belongs. Field names that begin with something other than a letter, digit or underscore (such as do not match any value. For example, consider the following entries. Machine belongs to the group in the domain but no users belong to it. Similarly, the user belongs to the group in the domain but no machines belong to it. Note, the domainname field must match the current domain name (as returned by the command), or the entry is not matched. Also, the user- name field is ignored for remote mounts. Only the hostname and domainname are used. The Network Information Service (NIS) can serve network groups. When it does, the groups are stored in the following NIS maps: Refer to ypserv(1M) and ypfiles(4) for an overview of Network Information Service. AUTHOR
