Thanks everyone, the operating system is Solaris and the "logins -g <grp>" command works BEAUTIFULLY and provides some visibility on primary vs secondary groups, like the following:
logins -g unixGrpName
myadm 10000 myadm 10000
myserv 10200 myserv 10200
dbadm 10300 myadm 10000
Cuser1 47001 unixGrpName 47000 GECOS for CUser1
CUser2 47002 unixGrpName 47000 GECOS for CUser2
CUser3 47003 unixGrpName 47000 GECOS for CUser3
Kudos to Methyl!
