Getting a list of users from a group (not an 'ou')

[Saintaw]

needless to say, I'm a noob in LDAP.

I'm looking for a way (query) to pull a list of users (persons) that are in a 'group'.
I can pull out the group info matching a user, but not the opposite. Right now, I pull a complete list of users, compare the groups he matches ... and display/don't display the data. that filter is being done in serverside javascript... you can only immagine the time it takes for the page to load...

there must be a way to pull that list in the right order... help apreciated.

Maybe I misunderstand your issue - but if you know the group name you can retrieve all the members by enumerating the member attribute for the directory server - like uniquemember for Sun or member for AD ...
