Take a look at sudo on the SunFreeware site. It allows specific users to
execute specific programs and scripts as root or another user. It is
much finer grained than using .rhosts which can open up all sorts of
security holes.
We have used it to allow certain users to run only ufsdump & ufsrestore
as root.
Of course, this doesn't help when rexec'ing on an NT box.
