Here's a pedantic point: RACF doesn't actually know what the user's 
password is -- thank goodness. RACF can only determine whether a 
particular password or passphrase string mathematically corresponds to the 
hashed value (derived from previous input) that RACF stores. True, good 
hashing functions minimize collisions, and RACF uses good hashing 
functions.

I echo the other poster's cautions.
