As someone that knows very little about DB2 I found this article to be very illuminating. I can see his points about the power of using system authentication for controlling logins. However, as someone that runs quite a few MySQL and PostgreSQL servers the 'downsides' he presents of keeping login info in the DB is not an issue. I have a script that just replicates that info to all the machines-I remove them from the master DB and within a few minutes they've lost access to all the DB's.
