I agree that in theory an exit for racf etc. would be nice.  I'm
not sure how much that will buy you though, because there is not
a one to one mapping between users and nodes.  A user can have
more than one machine and a machine can have more than one user.
For Unix clients, ADSM does have a generate password feature.
In any case, in many instances adsm users may end of having to
know another password anyway.
