If you're not into the custom programming that Kris suggests, you can sync passwords via LDAP using IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator. The reason RRSF is not available for z/VM is simple: (1) it's expensive to do [only with the new TCP support was it even feasible], (2) the demand is weak. If you want RACF on z/OS and z/VM to talk via RRSF, you need to tell BOTH groups. For z/VM to "cradle" z/OS RRSF, it has to be built in a way that is "cradle friendly," so there's work to be done on both sides. Did I say "expensive" already?
