Assuming you are using posixGroup objectclass and memberUid attribute to
store your membership information, you may find my shell script useful
and handy.

It works on Solaris LDAP Client with "ldapaddent" and "ldaplist"
commands, and works against FDS, SUN DS or OpenLDAP.

   echo "Purpose: get a list of memberships for LDAP posixGroups"

   echo "1) $0 SHOW_UID_ONLY"

   case "$OPTION" in
      "SHOW_UID_ONLY") cat uids.txt;;
      "SHOW_DN") for j in `cat uids.txt`

            ldaplist passwd $j

            NAME=`ldaplist -l passwd $j | grep -i 'cn:' | cut -d: -f2`
            echo $j,$NAME
         done;;
      *) echo "$1 is an invalid option."; exit 1
   esac

done

Hope this helps.
