Generic User password management

["Augusto Paes de Barros" <augusto () paesdebarros com br>]

I'm developing a information security architecture for my company and I
started some research about generic users (OS and DB) passwords management.
I would love to hear how others are dealing with it. How do people deal with
passwords inside executable files, text configuration files, registry
values, connection strings, etc?

Regards,
