Something about this makes me nervous.

At a minimum you need @Gils's suggestion that the password not exist in your 
address space (or if it does you really, really know what you are doing).

And you need to make certain your code is not a vehicle for someone to mount a 
brute force attack while avoiding revocation.

Subject: Code to verify LOGON password

Dear Folks,

     Does anyone have user-written code for RACF, so that if the user 
types in a password, the code will verify if it is the user's actual 
LOGON password?

     I'd like to see code that does this, for ACF2 and Top Secret as 
well, but I'm primarily interested in RACF.

     Thank you very much.  All the best of everything to all of you.
