#/bin/sh
servers="server1 server2 server3 server4";
for server in $servers; do
ssh $server passwd root $1;
done;
which would ssh into every server in the list $servers, and change the root password to the given arguement.
You may want to look at NIS for centeralized management, as well.
I would not recommend directly copying the shadow entry. You've got a lot of ways for something to go bad there, especially with lots of machines...

Hi, Is there a debian package for syncing root passwords on multiple servers? If I had a 100 debian servers, and want the root passwords all be the same, is there a util that will sync just the root password?or perhaps someone has a script they use? At first glance, its appears that I start with one server, change the password, extract the encrpted line from /etc/shadow and somehow copy this line to all other servers at /etc/shadow. Thanks for any suggestions! Cheers, Mike ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
