Hi all, I have an issue where I need to find an easy way to change ssh password in 3 different machines at the same time, at least in one go. Is there such tool? Preferably Web based. Thank you. Fajar

Joking - right? 1. Why are you using password based authentication on ssh - these machines must be on an isolated network and not accessible from the internet otherwise the script kiddies will target you and compromise your systems. 2. use webmin if you really need web based admin tools - but even here it pays to block the webmin port (usually 10000) via your firewall and use VPN or ssh tunnelling to gain access. 3. use private/public keys for ssh authentication - once set up, much more secure and easier to operate.

there is no such thing as a 'ssh password'. there are user passwords.
if you have a network of systems, you would be best off implementing a shared authentication scheme such as LDAP or NIS, where all the systems use the same central database for user authentication.
