We run an inhomogeneous VAX cluster where nearly everyone has account on
all machines (but with different priorities). Password updating is a
pain is such a situation. And we can't really require use of the
/GENERATE qualifier. Does anyone know of a utility to do simultaneous
updating of the passwords on all machines? It's easy to get a partial
solution with a DCL procedure and BATCH. But what would be nice is a
program running with SYSPRV which does the same as SET PASSWORD
(checking password lengths, necessity for /GENERATE, etc.) and then
goes ahead and updates SYSUAF files for the other machines. I'd like
to here any other strageties for dealing with this problem.
