I just tried the above and it works great for normal and disabled
accounts.  Unfortunately, it still prompts for a password when I try to
rlogin into the system (i.e., LocalSystem) account.  However, rsh to the
system account with a specified command works without requesting a
password:

    $ rsh system AT tishlerjason id
    uid=18(SYSTEM) gid=18(SYSTEM) groups=0(Everyone),544(Administrators)

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks,
Jason
