@scrutinizer, I guess it depends on how he wants it displayed. Without the comma separator, the output is:

tesgroup ---> test1, test2, test3

With the comma output is:
testgroup ---> test1
testgroup ---> test2
...and so on.
I personally like the first output with groupname followed comma separated values of users Smilie, but ..

@dude2cool: I see, but then
Code:
ypcat -k group|awk -F: '{print $1 "--->" $4}'

Would suffice, no? (provided you want to print empty groups as well)

So do you think the following would work?
Code:
oldIFS=$IFS
IFS=,
ypcat -k group | while IFS=: read group x x users
do
  for user in $users
  do
   if (adquery group -a $group | grep $user) then
       echo "$user is in $group"
   else
      echo "$user not found"
   fi  
  done
done
IFS=$oldIFS

True. Much simpler, don't know why I went for that for loop Smilie

You need a semicolon before then.
Just give it a try or perhaps this will work too:
Code:
if adquery group -a $group 2>/dev/null | grep -q $user; then

I will give that a try and let you both know the outcome. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. This is a great website. I was amazed at the speedy response.
Thanks again!

Scrutinizer,

That worked like a charm! I made a few slight modifications to format reading from the group file and all is well.

Thanks to both you and Dude2cool for your time.
