Description of Problem:

The UnixGroupInfo.GetMembers() method throws a exception if a  group in the
“/etc/groups” file has a non-referenced user in the “/etc/passwd” file, so any
member is retrieved for this group.  I have changed the functionality in order
to retrieve all valid users and ignore the others.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Edit the /etc/groups file and add a non existing user.
2. Use the UnixGroupInfo.GetMembers() method for this group.


Actual Results:
A exception is trown and any member is loaded for that group.

Expected Results:
The group is loaded without the corrupted user.

How often does this happen? 
Always

Additional Information:
Attached is a patch file with the proposed change.
