Answer 2

+10 A:

This one shows all the groups they belong to

id userid

This appears to be pretty useful as well. It has more verbose output than the 'groups' command, so if you need the group id/user id use this!

Answer 3

A:

or just study /etc/groups (ok this does probably not work if it uses pam with ldap)

Indeed, that's a bad answer. 'getent group' is a better one.

In unix/linux how to you find out what group a given user is in via command line?
