IBM have a Redbook available which discusses the intergration of RACF
and DCE in a single security environment. It contains source for the
'glue' to hold all of this together. I cannot remember the title but
it's a recent release. This solution is based on MVS/OpenEdition as
implemented in MVS/ESA V5.1 and RACF V2.1.

This should work with Kerberos as V5 is compatabile (more or less)
with DCE implementations.

Hope this helps..... Mike
