command for each user on your system:
/usr/bin/grep -x -c username /etc/group
This command returns the number of occurrences of username in the /etc/group

2. To remove a user from one or more groups, delete the user from the group entries

2. To remove the user from one or more groups in the NIS map, follow the instructions
