You can also write it like this:

Only if you assume that only those three types of lines appear in the file. I doubt that is the case. It is probably a simplified example.
To the OP:
In addition to vidyadhar85's advice, I would suggest using -F if your list is composed of literal strings and not regular expressions. Further, if they are intended to match an entire line, use -x to preclude a substring match.

rexecd
rexecd(8c) rexecd(8c)
Name
rexecd - remote execution server
Syntax
/etc/rexecd
Description
The command is the server for the routine. The server provides remote execution facilities with authentication based on usernames and
encrypted passwords.
The command is invoked by when it receives a connection on the port indicated in the ``exec'' service specification. For further informa-
tion, see When a service request is received the following protocol is initiated:
1) The server reads characters from the socket up to a null (` ') byte. The resultant string is interpreted as an ASCII number, base 10.
2) If the number received in step 1 is non-zero, it is interpreted as the port number of a secondary stream to be used for the stderr. A
second connection is then created to the specified port on the client's machine.
3) A null terminated username of at most 16 characters is retrieved on the initial socket.
4) A null terminated password of at most 16 characters is retrieved on the initial socket.
5) A null terminated command to be passed to a shell is retrieved on the initial socket. The length of the command is limited by the upper
bound on the size of the system's argument list.
6) The command then validates the user as is done at login time and, if the authentication was successful, changes to the user's home
directory, and establishes the user and group protections of the user. If any of these steps fail the connection is aborted with a
diagnostic message returned.
7) A null byte is returned on the connection associated with the stderr and the command line is passed to the normal login shell of the
user. The shell inherits the network connections established by
Diagnostics
All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection associated with the stderr, after which any network connections are closed. An
error is indicated by a leading byte with a value of 1 (0 is returned in step 7 above upon successful completion of all the steps prior to
the command execution).
username too long
The name is longer than 16 characters.
password too long
The password is longer than 16 characters.
command too long
The command line passed exceeds the size of the argument list (as configured into the system).
Login incorrect
No password file entry for the username existed.
Password incorrect
The wrong was password supplied.
No remote directory
The command to the home directory failed.
Try again
A fork by the server failed.
/bin/sh: ...
The user's login shell could not be started.
Restrictions
Indicating ``Login incorrect'' as opposed to ``Password incorrect'' is a security breach which allows people to probe a system for users
with null passwords.
