Err, the security implications of such a scheme are kinda
imposing. Simpler to use an existing tool like ssh to do the
authentication. I have a network of ~80 Debian boxen, and I do
something rougly like this:
for host in `cat hostlist`; do
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
done
If you run stable, use aptwatcher
(http://people.debian.org/~lowe/aptwatcher) and each box will mail you
when you need to do something to it.
