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.
