I have sent off email requesting more information and availability. I've run NIST/PCTS before (at USL) as part of the testbed for our (their) NetWare atributed FS. I presume that certification still requires that the test suite be run by an approved testing laboratory. This is not free certification, if that is true (yes, I asked aout this in my email). So far, the suite is not on the NIST FTP site (which is sort of hidden), so there may be a nominal charge for media (ie: a CDROM or something).
