I was wondering more along the lines of the process that system administrators use to secure passwords they need to use/remember. Recommended applications to use or avoid? Processes that you currently support? -Charlie ========================================== Charles Bombard, GSEC LAN/Systems Administrator Community College of Vermont 119 Pearl Street Burlington, VT 05401 802.657.4234 bombardc () ccv edu PRIVACY & CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, confidential, or otherwise private information.

Storing passwords. I am currently testing a product by edmz security (http://edmzsecurity.com) that allows multiple users to connect to systems for priveleged tasks. It is an appliance that acts as a proxy between authorized users and the system being managed. I really like the functionality of the appliance. Having said that I am having security do a full assessment on the device before I recommend deploying it on our network. You may want to look at their website and see if it looks like the type of system you are looking for.
