You can use 'getent group' command. I have a perl script that use,
gives the group and name. It is nothing fancy and works for me.
-------------------perl script--------------
#!/usr/bin/perl 
# 03.15.04 sharif islam 
# Provide a group name  this looks for the groupname 
# in the domain  then loops through  the list of user ids and  gets
the full name

my $usage_string = "Find who is in a group 
                    ----------------------------------------------------
                    USE: ./group.pl GROUPNAME
                    OUTPUT:                    
                    group name at the top 
                    user1 
                    user2 ";
                    
# Check for number of args.
if ($#ARGV < 0)
  {
    print "$usage_string\n" ;
    exit 0 ;
  }

# get the group name
$group = $ARGV[0];

#example: staff:x:621:username1,username2
$cmd = "getent group|grep -w $group"; 
$rv = `$cmd` ; 

if($rv) 
    { 
      @out = split /:/, $rv ; 
    } 
else
   { print "There's no such group as $group\n"; exit 0; 
   }

print "Group Name: $out[0]\n"; 
print "----------------------\n"; 

  @names = split /,/,  $out[3]  ; 

foreach $netid (@names) 
     { 
         $cmd = "getent passwd|grep -w $netid"; 
         $rv1 = `$cmd`; 
        if($rv1) 
               {  @name = split /:/, $rv1 ; }
        print "$name[4]\n"; 
     }
