Yes, it is nice to avoid n^2 problems at the start! Solutions with comm are very robust and scale well, can exploit multiprocessing and such well, detect both negative (missing) and positive (wrong) problems!

Hi there,
One can easily retrieve the uid from a username :

But how can we easily retrieve the gid from a group name?

GROUP(5) Linux Programmer's Manual GROUP(5)
NAME
group - user group file
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on the system. There is one entry per line, with the following format:
group_name:password:GID:user_list
The fields are as follows:
group_name the name of the group.
password the (encrypted) group password. If this field is empty, no password is needed.
GID the numeric group ID.
user_list a list of the usernames that are members of this group, separated by commas.
FILES
/etc/group
BUGS
As the 4.2BSD initgroups(3) man page says: no one seems to keep /etc/group up-to-date.
