How do You safely collect local /etc/passwd files into a central
machine, so that Crack can be run on them? I have about 15 mamachines
I'd like to check, a mixture of AIX, SCO and SunOS 4.1.3 machines.

From cron as root on each machine, and then rcp to central machine?
rdist?

If you have shadow passwd files, you will need to retieve them with
root access; other than that, there should be no real need to use root
access to remote fetch the files.
