Your forgot kerberos, probably the most significant. z/OS supports LDAP
(Tivoli) and kerberos and so it should. It has to play nicely with
others and open standards are
the best way to achieve that.
What makes UNIX so fun is what makes it so much work. There are many methods
and interfaces to do the same thing. In z/OS, we tend to have one or two
interfaces. E.g. standard security on z/OS is provided by a single programming
interface regardless of the ESM you are using.
It's a shame to same can't be said of the file system. In Unix
everything is a file and shares the same API. I use the same interface
for files, sockets, printers, terminals, modems or any other device.
I wish OS/360 had a similar unifying design principle back in the day.

Could you be kind to list the differences between these systems on Security?
z/OS has RACF (or other ESM). What do you use in UNIX / Linux / other world for
security? Audit trails? Product management? Intrusion detection? etc?
