RRSF: Password/passphrase re-synchronization

With the implementation of RRSF, it is possible to synchronize a user's password/passphrase between different RACF databases.

Due to various technical reasons, sometimes a user's password/passphrase may get out of sync in such a RRSF environment.

If a user's password/passphrase gets out of sync between RACF databases, the user has to change his password/passphrase to a new one, which is then propagated to the other RACF databases again using RRSF.

This is not very "user friendly" and is often not very accepted by the end users.

It would be great if there is a mechanism like a RACF command/operand to re-synchronize a user's password/passphrase again.
