... 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

       bshell

DESCRIPTION

       bssh/bvnc/bshell  browses  for  SSH/VNC	servers  on  the  local  network, shows them in a GUI for the user to select one and finally calls

       If the binary is called as bssh only ssh servers will be shown. If the binary is called as bvnc only VNC servers  will  be  shown.  If  the
       binary is called as bshell both VNC and SSH servers are shown.

	      Browse for SSH servers (and only SSH servers) regardless under which name the binary is called.

       -v | --vnc
	      Browse for VNC servers (and only VNC servers) regardless under which name the binary is called.

       -S | --shell
	      Browse for both VNC and SSH servers regardless under which name the binary is called.

       -d | --domain= DOMAIN
	      Browse in the specified domain. If omitted bssh/bvnc/bshell will browse in the default browsing domain (usually .local)
