John The Ripper is good, and free, for identifying weak passwords on the
platforms listed-but it doesn't 'remotely fetch the local password
database'.

Can anyone recommend a good password auditing tool. Basically I want to
identify weak passwords on my servers (Windows, Linux, Unix). Ideally
this would be done by a tool that could remotely fetch the local
password database and then attempt to brute force the passwords and
prepare a report in a central location.

Any suggestions?
