please correct me if i'm wrong, but passwd doesn't take as an argument

I'd be a bit worried that I couldn't get in if the network was down, even from
the machine itself.
I guess my own idea has that problem though.

IMV the best way to sync root passwords is to have none.

...and you're assuming that security through obscurity is just as secure
as a secure encryption algorithm.
No, it's not more insecure; you're assuming the hypothetical hacker knows
that there is an algorithm, and which character(s) are filled in by it.

My philosophy has always been to make root's password completely random
for each manchine, document it somewhere secure, and then use sudo for
all management requirements.
However, I've never worked in a situation where there were more than two
or three active system admins for the entire network

You might want to reconsider the project, frankly - why not make different
root passwords for different machines? That would seem to be a more secure
alternative. You can make them systematically different to save yourself
memorizing them all, by (for example) using the second letter of the

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
