I was looking for something to ship a single command or string of commands across to the zLinux image. I don't actually want to start a session like telnet or transfer a file like ftp. (Although sftp support would be nice too...)
If they're on the same box, why worry about it? Put the VM system and the Linux system on their own VLAN, open up rsh on the Linux system *only* for the VM system's VLAN IP address, and just do it cleartext. No unencrypted traffic will ever hit any external wire. On the other hand, you could use non-network means to transfer the commands and responses: the ur driver, or fs_iucv, or something like that. Have something that picks up the jobs from that device, and runs 'em. Just be sure that you feel OK trusting whatever comes in via the reader or the IUCV connection or whatever. If it's gotta go external, again, as long as your first hop to a Linux guest is allowed to be in cleartext (or you can pick it up from the reader or an IUCV connection), there are bazillions of ways to turn that Linux guest into a proxy. Contact me off-list if you want more info. Some methods are free, some aren't.
