hi list, best solution i've come across for this problem is Cyber-Ark as it manages passwords across multiple platforms and will also run on and across VMware. well worth the look www.cyber-ark.com Regards Paul B

So if I will change the admin(root) password, actually it is impossible.. (because there are so many servers..) Mainly I use ssh at linux and terminal server at windows server to remote login. So is there any good method or solution to solve this problem? How about radius? is it best solution at my case? then, anyone who have used radius(free or commercial) well at this environment?Radius is a great solution for this, IMO. It is much simpler than LDAP for authentication (as LDAP is designed to do much more). Use PAM-radius for SSH and IAS for Microsoft. Configure a centralized server and point the boxes to it. If the users are in AD, then use IAS. If the users are in ldap, then look at freeradius. Radius will also proxy to other radius servers, which you will need it you want to do two-factor authentication down the road.
