getent groups 

;-)))

Generally, "getent" is meant to dump the contents of every NSS
database that supports enumeration. Of course what you'd enumerate
depends on your privileges too. You will find all databases unix
machine uses in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

There are also utilities for working with individual databases. 
For example "id" for "getent passwd", "groups" for "getent groups".
