I script the change to the db and password file for all servers.

You can make a symlink from the dbs directory to a shared device or mountpoint. 
 Definitely don't share your homes.

having it on shared disk would require the oracle_home to be shared, I think. 
At least in 10g, I didn't think you could have a password file that was not in 
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs (this could be platform dependent).

I've always changed it once, and copied the password file to the other nodes.

So you RAC people out there, whats the practice you're using?

Single password file on shared disk?

Change the password on each node with separate password files on each OH/dbs 
directory?

Any other options?

thanks, joe
