OT: same commands to multiple servers?

[Brian D. Ropers-Huilman]

I have administered over 100 AIX boxes for a living for over 5 years now. The 
tool of choice for me is dsh, which ships as part of the PSSP LPP, a canned 
implementation of Kerberos 4. We simply install the ssp.clients fileset on 
each node and use our control workstation as the Kerberos realm master. We add 
the external nodes by hand.

I know that dsh is open sourced now and available at:

    http://dsh.sourceforge.net/

There are several other cheap (as in Libris) solutions as well:

1) Use rsh (with TCPwrappers)
2) Use ssh with a password-less key
3) Write your own code around either of the above
4) Implement Kerberos, either as an LPP from IBM, or get the source and 
compile yourself

I think you'll find dsh a good starting point though.
