An other drawback in my opinion is one I originally said in my email
that I was corrected on ...  That its a flat text file which limits
dynamic passwords, in that you have to either write something that will
allow users to change their passwords, which is more difficult (although
not impossible, just watch file locking and permission issues) than
using a DB.  

The other alternative is that an admin type has to change the passwords
for the individuals.  While many installations dont care as much as I
aparently do over passwords, this can still be a cumbersome task in a
large installation to do them manually like that.
