Hi,
     I am writing a script to update password files from the server to
all the clients in the network.

I will be copying the following files periodically to all the clients:

/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group

scp is one option to do the remote copying. But, root ssh is disabled
in the clients and I cannot use scp. Is there any alternative
way(other than scp) to do this. Do I have to enable root ssh inorder
to do a remote copy of the above files. Please help.

PS: I am not using NIS for password management.

Thank you.

Sashikanth Madduri.
