Hello folks,

Thanks Raja. My problem is connecting to those 200 servers and su-ing in, they all have different root passwords.

If you need to manage a bunch of servers centrally, you probably want to set up root ssh access with keys so you can script it. You could use LDAP for central authentication for this case, but how do you do updates and other changes?
