Why don't you setup a NIS server? Everything is centrally managed and you don't have to worry about changing passwords on all servers.

Centrify is a good tool. It will also integrate your accounts/passwords with AD.

I use ssh and keys so I honestly don't know my password on any server we have. I think that is as nature intended it.
