We had heard about a PAM interface to CA-ACF2. CA sent us a copy. The linux part is supposed to be open-source with the MVS interface to ACF2 being proprietary. We were not up to the level of ACF2 that was needed for this PAM interface. Since then, our management has indicated that Active Directory is the direction for any future centralization of authorizations. So I have put all of my PAM work on hold until the NT/W2K people get Active Directory working and then they can tell me how to interface my Linux/390 systems with them.
