getgrgid()  - Used for getting the Group ID Name from the Group ID.
getpwuid() - Used for getting the User Name from the User ID.

Both of these are used in a FileGrid component (eg: File Open Dialog)
to display a files User and Group names like  graemeg:users    instead
of  5000:3000

My work-around for FreeBSD is to display the numeric values only. I'm
thinking of looking up the values manually in /etc/groups and
/etc/passwd but was told it can be inaccurate.
