Actually, if you can use the machine in question only from a central machine,
then the most secure way if to set yourself up to use ssh keys, and then to
remove entirely any passwords at all.  Kinda difficult to crack a machine which
hasn't got any passwords, and ssh keys is a very convenient/secure access
method.  Lot of the folks on this list know about that, because it's the way
that you have to log into your accounts on hub.  Makes things very secure and
very easy.
