Rob Schramm's post suggests that IBM's DKMS key-management system has a new name; but I, for one, do not know what that new name is. The IBM CCCC website still talks about DKMS.
The impetus for a new name is understandable. This acronym is among the most overloaded I routinely encounter. For UNIX people it most often means 'Distributed Kernel Module Support', but it can also mean 'Distributed Knowledge Management System', and outside of computing it is the acronym for 'Deutsche KnochenMarkSpenderdatei', the originally German but now also Polish and American non-profit organization that maintains a database of bone-marrow donors for leukemia victims. It can even stand for Drunken Killing MachineS. The IBM product is nevertheless an excellent, severely practical one that has no real competitors in its specific z/OS environment.
