Thanks seg for the tip. I had forgotten the logins command.
vr_mari: not sure about why you insist telling you use getenv while the output clearly shows you run getent. By the way, getent not only look in the /etc files but also in whatever remote database (nis, ldap, ...) might be declared in nsswitch.conf.

| | The passwd element contains the group's password |

| | system employing "shadow" passwords, an asterisk |
| | is returned instead. |

| gid | |
| | |
| | Group ID of the group in numeric form. |
| | |
|members | |
| | |
| | This consists of an array of string's for all |
| | the members in the group. |
