Hi,

Im canvassing for opinion on password management & the best way to 
go about it.

Im thinking of something like a master node where all passowrd changes
are made and leaf nodes which perform the username/password lookups for 
local stuff (popper & ftp & radius ..).

The central node would also handle user accounting etc .... as well.
Any suggestions on the best way to meet these requirements ?

Thanks & Cheers
Richard
