distributing passwords to users

[G V <gvasiliu () gmail com>]

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?

Thank you,
George Vasiliu
