Could the two sides just trade keys with each other, allowing ssh access in
either direction without specifying a password?
To do the "into any linux userid" part, you'd have to pass down a key for
root to each of the linux boxes in question.
While I haven't tried this from MVS, it does work from Linux to Linux, and
from OS X to Linux.
