I am working on a Disaster Recovery Document for PASSWORDS (Unix, Oracle, NT servers, etc). Has anyone tackled this process and have recommendations? While working with another company, we had all passwords in sealed rip proof envelopes in the HelpDesk area of the company (staffed 7x24). If someone had to gain access to the passwords they were to report this fact and new passwords were issued shortly there after.

It was rare that someone needed to gain access to Oracle passwords, for example, but with a small staff and critical business needs needing to be met.. it was important to have this information available. Yes, a pain to change passwords but it didn't happen often.

So, if you have something else in place I would like to hear examples or if you send a procedure that you use or document I would appreciate the input.

Thanks!
