  From /usr/doc/libc6/BUGS.gz
---------
[  *]  The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does
       not support netgroups and wildcards (+).
---------
	   
	   There might be a solution since RedHat 5.0 seems to support
netgroups. You might take a look at PAM.
	   I've tried different PAM configurations, but to no avail.
		   
	   Please, mail me if you have success in configuring pam.
