The Kundt class of metrics containing geodesic rays with vanishing divergence, shear and curl is obtained for more general Ricci tensors using the standard Newman--Penrose formalism. These solutions are then rederived using Penrose's conformal technique, thereby clarifying their asymptotic behavior.
