    Can't you just have two cron jobs, one on the master machine which dists
    the file out to the various machines in /var/tmp or something and another
    one on the slave machine which picks it up and replaces/integrates it?

    The permissions on the file should keep other people from modifying it.
    The only possible problem (depending on setup) could be if someone put a
    passwd file there first and the dist didn't properly handle that.
    However, if the cron on the slave machine checks the permissions first,
    that problem can be avoided.
