Radius etc. is good for network auth, but every device (servers, routers, switches) still need local admin passwords 
for maintenance or if it gets disconnected from the network and you have a local tech out on-site and one of your tens, 
hundreds or thousands of locations (depending on your type of organization).

I would suggest something like e-DMZsecurity.com 

Google "password change management" and you'll hit a few apps out there.  That market is just now picking up steam the 
last couple of years actually.  Another good company was bought out by HP about a year ago (Opsware.com).  They'll 
handle your PCM needs as well as Chg. Mgmt. as well for most devices.

Cheers,
James
