Security and User management

I've been tasked with beefing up our administative databases, and
currently we're using server 5.5 and filemaker 6 on the workstations.
Until now, the data we were serving up didn't require much in the way of
security, but as this project progresses, it looks like we'll have make
some adjustments there.
I've looked briefly at filemaker 8 and it looks like they've addressed
the basic issue of passwords being easy to break, but it also looks like
they still don't have any sort of centralized authentication (so my
users would still have to change their passwords across multiple
databases). Is this all correct? I see that multi table dbs are now
supported, so I suppose I could bring all of the databases into one, but
I tend to like multiple small files instead of giant ones so that's not
so appealing.
On the other hand, it looks like Security Manager 1.0 addresses my basic
desire to toughen the passwords and provide centralized administration.
How good is this product? And are there any similar products I should
look at as well?
tia,
bil
