No ".netrc"

Security is saying they don't like ".netrc" files.

Is there a way to hide passwords and things that make passwords unavailable and 
yet allow for some sort of "authorized" file transfers in a Unix/Unix 
environment?

The current scripts which use the .netrc files take a copy of the exports from 
one box that does NOT have a tape drive to another box WITH a tape drive for 
backup.

Perhaps there is some software product with "agents" that are powered by a set 
of rules and you don't have to give it passwords if you do what you are allowed 
to do. Something where one perhaps could do a "moveit filename remote_host 
remote_directory" and if the rule says okay, it happens, no password needed.

This is HP-UX if that makes any difference.
