How to see which groups a user belongs to?

viniosity

Is there any way to display which groups a user belongs to? For instance, I've got 2 users on my machine - my CD player works with one user but not the other so I'd like to see what groups user1 is part of that user2 is not..

Thanks!

grep user1 /etc/group
grep user2 /etc/group

Yes - that did it. Thank you.

I'm still confused though because both (non-root) users are members of the exact same groups. Yet one can play CD's with KsCD while the other user can't even load the application. (It starts to run then quits without any message!) Help!

Another possibility would be the id command.
