How would you update these in a consistent, reliable manner? I'm new enough to system administration, self taught and still learning but - I have this problem to solve in no specific time and under my own initiative as I work in a company where I'm the only sys admin.
I've noticed that our password policy isn't exactly foolproof in that if you have 1 wordpress password the ftp account for that user and the mysql account for that site, then you can quickly gain access to 90% of our portfolio.
I'd like to change this. I have 3 virtual servers with about 170/170/110 WordPress installations between the three. Each has it's own FTP user and MySQL database. What would you do?
