I ended up writing some code for detecting group membership in a shell script (bash)

-----------
#!/bin/bash

if id -G | grep -q groupnumber
then
"in group"
else
"not in group"
fi
-----------

There were some potential issues -- what if the test was for group 57 and the person was in group 570?

Thanks for letting me know about this utility.
