whitepaper AmTrust Reduced Database and Linux Helpdesk Calls by 80% With Centralized User Management2008-08-01
  AmTrust Bank was founded in 1889, and is one of the fastest growing financial institutions in America. As more applications and databases were deployed and more users were provisioned to support growing business, challenge of managing users consistently across applications, databases, and operating systems was ever increasing. Managing users in individual systems resulted in poor user experience due to multiple passwords, high administration cost due to redundant administration, and poor compliance due to inconsistent security policies and ineffective provisioning process.

whitepaper Cleartext Passwords in Linux Memory2008-07-26 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  Upon examination, the memory of a popular Linux distribution contained many cleartext passwords, including login, SSH, Truecrypt, email, IM and root passwords. These passwords are retained by running applications and stored as plain text in memory for extended periods of time. The paper investigated the source of these passwords and presents a proof-of-concept method for recovering passwords from memory. The cold boot researchers demonstrated that memory is not as volatile as commonly expected, and that data from memory can be recovered with physical access to systems in a very short period of time. This has opened up a new class of attacks in physical IT security, and significantly raised the risk associated with cleartext passwords in memory.
