I'd look at the ssh family of utilities.

Subject: No ".netrc"
Security is saying they don't like ".netrc" files.
Is there a way to hide passwords and things that make passwords unavailable and yet allow for some sort of "authorized" file transfers in a Unix/Unix environment?
The current scripts which use the .netrc files take a copy of the exports from one box that does NOT have a tape drive to another box WITH a tape drive for backup.
Perhaps there is some software product with "agents" that are powered by a set of rules and you don't have to give it passwords if you do what you are allowed to do. Something where one perhaps could do a "moveit filename remote_host remote_directory" and if the rule says okay, it happens, no password needed.
This is HP-UX if that makes any difference.
