... and let the bleeding commence.

It's been a while and I'm sure this is over complicated:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then
    print "usage: $0 <group> <userID> <serverfile>"
    exit 1
fi

NEWGROUP=$1
NEWUSER=$2
SERVERFILE=$3

for SERVER in `cat ${SERVERFILE}`
do
    if [ -n "`ping -c1 ${SERVER} 2>/dev/null | grep icmp_seq`" ]; then
        ISGROUP=`ssh ${SERVER} grep ${NEWGROUP} /etc/group`
        if [ ! -z "${ISGROUP}" ]; then
            ISUSER=`ssh ${SERVER} grep ${NEWUSER} /etc/passwd`
            if [ ! -z "${ISUSER}" ]; then
                ssh ${SERVER} usermod -g ${NEWGROUP} ${NEWUSER}
            else
                print "${NEWUSER} does not exist on ${SERVER}"
            fi
        else
            print "${NEWGROUP} does not exist on ${SERVER}"
        fi
    else
        print "${SERVER} is not reachable"
    fi
done

globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot

GLOBUS-GRIDFTP-SERVER-SETUP-CHROOT(8)				  Globus Toolkit			     GLOBUS-GRIDFTP-SERVER-SETUP-CHROOT(8)

NAME

       globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot  -  creates  the  specific  contents of a directory that can specified as a root of the file system tree
       exposed by the Globus GridFTP server

SYNOPSYS

       globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot [-c certificate_dir] -r chroot_path_to_create

DESCRIPTION

       GridFTP server can be configured to restrict access to specific path using the command line  option  -chroot-path  of  the  globus-gridftp-
       server command. The specified path will become the new root after authentication.

       That path must contain a valid certificate structure, and the files /etc/passwd and /etc/groups.

       The command globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot helps creating such a suitable directory structure.

OPTIONS

       -r chroot_path_to_create
	      Creates  in  chroot_path_to_create the directory structure expected by the globus-gridftp-server command, when started with -chroot-
	      path command line option.

       -c certificate_dir
	      Specifies explicitly the directory from which the certificates will be copied into the directory chroot_path_to_create. The  default
	      path is /etc/grid-security/certificates.
