    I'm wondering how other admins handle the install.cfg file.

    Can I blank out the passwords in the file, or are they required to be there for future patches, sp's, etc? Do you lock down the rights on the file? move it out of the directory into a secured location until needed? or am I paranoid, and I don't really need to worry about the passwords stored in the file?

      Future patches will depend on/use the file. We've just left it alone for now, as nobody outside of the IT department has shell access. We set every portal user up with an invalid shell, so nobody gets to the command line. I've heard other people who move it out to a secure location, then just move it back when they need to.
