Greetings fellow perl lovers. I recently became the de facto sys admin at work, a responsibility that includes ensuring that the 10 or so machines we need are as secure as possible.
These machines are used by three other peer groups. One of which has been writing scripts that pull data from unencrypted password files. These enable passwords that give access to over 400 worldwide routers are used by about 20 or so scripts, of which, only a few are cronned daily. I'd like to create a an object that somehow dynamically retrieves these passwords from an encrypted file or some other method, ie ssh-agent, to obfuscate the need to store password files. How have others done this in the past? From time to time I've passed passwords from a form to a script using env vars, is there a similar method we could be using? Thanks in advance.
