Interesting topic.

Would anyone be interested in a password server?

Not foolproof, but considerably more secure than putting passwords in a script, and infinitely more flexible.

I have some scripts, O.S. command and SQL, which I use to perform COLD backups of DBs and other tasks. I'm not particularily happy about having username/password information in the scripts. Has anyone come up with a way
to avoid same allowing for the fact the scripts should require no user input
to execute.
