Create an easy interface to send commands from MVS RACF to z/VM RACF

I would like a handy interface to help keep z/VM RACF databases in sync with my z/OS RACF databases. My initial thought was why not just have z/VM RACF support RRSF? A conversation with Bruce Wells helped me understand why that would be easier said than done.

So whatever technology IBM thinks is best here but the goal is I'm submitting all sorts of clean up jobs on the z/OS side of the house and I need some easy way to have those reflect upon the z/VM RACF side.

And no we don't consider LDAP an "easy" way to do that either; which is why I was thinking z/VM RACF supporting RRSF would be an ideal solution. It would then just be another node in the RRSF network.
