Recommended Solutions for Mass Command Execution
What methods/programs do folks use or recommend for a large mixed environment?
We have a mix of OS's from HPUX, Tru-64 (ya still), AIX, and Linux flavors. I'm looking at ~300 nodes to manage and would like a means to securely, but effectively manage these hosts.
Right now, we're using an expect script w/ a ksh wrapper that will run commands w/ a su -c root, but that requires you to stick user and root password in plain text files which isn't choice, even if temporary.
Root login isn't permitted via SSH of course, as that's a SOX violation.
Just looking for some direction or recommendations of what other folks are using when faced w/ this task.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

telnetlogin
TELNETLOGIN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TELNETLOGIN(8)
NAME
telnetlogin -- login wrapper for telnetd
SYNOPSIS
telnetlogin [-h host] [-p] [-f username] [username]
DESCRIPTION
telnetlogin is a setuid wrapper that runs login(1). It is meant to be invoked by telnetd(8); the idea is to remove the necessity of running
telnetd as root.
telnetlogin should be installed mode 4750, user root, group telnetd. Then, telnetd may be run from /etc/inetd.conf as user ``nobody'', group
``telnetd'', and with the option -L path-to-telnetlogin.
telnetlogin accepts only the subset of options to login(1) shown above, in the order listed. This is the order telnetd 8 normally provides
them in. telnetlogin also does sanity checks on the environment variables TERM, and REMOTEHOST. It also insists that the standard input,
output, and error streams are open on a terminal, and that it is the process group leader of the foreground process of that terminal. After
checking all of these conditions, checking the values of the above environment variables for reasonable values, resetting signal handlers,
and so forth, it execs login.

login(1), inetd.conf(5), inetd(8), telnetd(8)
RESTRICTIONS
THIS IS PRESENTLY EXPERIMENTAL CODE; USE WITH CAUTION.
HISTORY
telnetlogin was written during the development of NetKit 0.17.
