Maybe schedule a script that does: echo "root:<new_password>" | chpasswd

Hi,

Is it possible to change the root password on all machines in a group?
We want to change the root password for al lot of systems, we thought
perhaps is spacewalk of some use (since you can install packages, reboot
the machines)

Is such an option possible through spacewalk?

Kind regards,

Michiel
