Grep from specific column in one file based on another file [Please help!]

Hey Guys, to keep it simple, I have an idFile:

Code:
1006006
1006008
1006011
1007002
......

and famFile:

Code:
1006 1006001 1006016 1006017 1
1006 1006006 1006016 1006017 1
1006 1006007 0 0 2
1006 1006008 1006007 1006006 2
1006 1006010 1006016 1006017 2
1006 1006011 1006016 1006017 1
1006 1006016 0 0 2
1006 1006017 0 0 1
1007 1007001 1007950 1007015 2
1007 1007002 1007014 1007015 2
......

and I need to grep all the lines from famFile in which its second column contains all the numbers in idFile. The returned results should be like this:

Code:
1006 1006006 1006016 1006017 1
1006 1006008 1006007 1006006 2
1006 1006011 1006016 1006017 1
1007 1007002 1007014 1007015 2
......

Please help this with awk or grep or whatever can do the job! Thanks a million!!!

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
