Furthermore - are you shure you want to search for groupofnames and not posixgroup?
Group ID numbers are usually used with POSIX groups and since both posixgroup and
groupoufnames are structural groups they can't mix. It's actually pretty unlikely that your server
holds groupofnames with a numeric group id.
