Hi Bob, Thankyou so much for your response :-) Just taking a rough Estimate I need to remember about 70 passwords some of them more than 8 letters and containing numbbers and wildcharacters and both cases. Many are root passwords and Mysql passwords or other system account paswords. And they get changed periodically according to the server management policy.Forget the passwords I find it a little too overwhelming to remember all the IP address itslef without the names of those servers. Thankyou so much once again :-) Kind Regards Siju
