Not bad, but not robust either. It breaks easily. How about the
following:
#!/bin/sh
TMP=`mktemp /tmp/group.XXXXXX`
grep `grep "^${1}:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f3` /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
> $TMP
grep "^${1}:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f4 | sed 's/,/\
/g' >> $TMP
cat $TMP | uniq
rm -f $TMP
This way, you also get those users who's default group isn't the one you
requested, but are a member of all the same.

Ooohh, it's sorely tempting :)
