I currently have a commercial tool that does root password management and 
am looking for other options (the maintinance price of this tool is in the 
6-digits per year)

the tool reaches out and changes the root passwords on the systems, and 
then has an sudited request/approve/release process for giving out the 
root password as needed (an then changing it afterwords)

we use this for cases where our normal access methods (including sudo type 
things) don't work, so I'm not interested (at this time) in discussions on 
those types of tools, just tools that can change the root passwords 
periodicly and then release them to the sysadmins as needed.

I know that thre are at least three companies doing commercial tools that 
do this

Symark (Power Keeper)
Quest
and I'm forgetting the name of the third company (Symark's Power Keeper 
started off as a re-branding of this other company and now the codebase 
has forked)

any suggestions (including open source options)?
