Thanks!! Actually this should be very helpful, indeed.

I believe that I have figured it out. The root of the problem is that passw=
d structure on z/OS and OS/390 is rather different from that on Unix becaus=
e there is no /etc/passwd on the mainframe. (The errors were caused by my s=
omewhat naive patch was not consistent.) Perhaps to do a proper password au=
thentication one has to integrate OpenSSH with RACF. However, the thread to=
which you have referred me seems to address this issue, too.
