Many thanks to: Christopher L. Barnard Dave Morley Mike Salehi Michael Grice Mike Ekholm Carl Schelin Alan Orndorff Adeel Khurshid Thomas Carter Jeff Kennedy Steve Mickeler Matt Schepens For security reasons, I think the best idea would be for us to install ssh. Many people recommended expect(sunfreeware) to write the script which would be rsh-ed/ssh-ed to the remote machines. Jeff Kennedy recommended a script using sed and the encrypted shadow entry to copy across to the other machines Adeel Khurshid recommended cfengine: http://www.iu.hioslo.no/cfengine Thanks, Morgan ORIGINAL QUESTION: Date: Tue, 01 May 2001 12:40:23 -0700 From: "Murphy, Morgan" <morgan.murphy@bankofamerica.com> Subject: Changing root passwords on multiple machines To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org We have alot of machines whoes local root password needs to be changed on a regular basis We are not running sshd on any of these machines, so we don't want to use any rsh scripts. I've heard about Control-SA from Software Innovations, but not really for maintaining root passwords. Does anyone know of any software products, or have any ideas for this situation..besides telneting to each host Thanks MorganReceived on Wed May 2 17:41:48 2001
