If you're going to do this, you may as well do it right and implement ssh 
along with sudo, and turn off rsh, rlogin, rcp, rexec, and telnet.

Then you don't need to worry about the concept of "trusted host", you just 
need to implement ssh without a passphrase, have it rely on the ssh keys, and 
you're done.  Everything is still secure, and it works the way you want it too 
:)
