Hi,

From your experience, what's the best secure and easy way to update a
password list and distribute it to 1000 or so unix users? The users
would have different privilege levels and different access on network.
Throwing ideas, I can think of: pgp (difficult to maintain a separate
file for each user), web app (would need to be sucured over ssl,
possible password protected), usb disks (difficult to manage changes).
Anyone using an enterprise level app (commercial or not) to "share"
passwords to users, manage changes and so on? Any other ideas I can
use?


We can use puppet for the same task.
excellent tool to manage such task, but dont mail them .
You can create a dat file from MyPasswordSafe and then mail this dat
file to users.
That is wat we are doing.

Thank you,
George Vasiliu

Theory is when you know all and nothing works. Practice is when all
works and nobody knows why. In this case we have put together theory
and practice: nothing works... and nobody knows why!
