My original post was:
Hi,

        I'm stumped. I have a host named oberon that cannot do a root
rsh without a password to our yp host named titania.
.

.

If I change the .rhosts file to contain just a + , it works.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Solution:

        My problem was that the yp hosts table was not getting updated
correctly so that the hosts table on the computer with the problem was
not complete. To fix this I killed ypbind and restarted it so that it
pointed to the correct server. Thanks to carol@disney.com (say hi to
mickey for me) and Paulo Licio de Geus and Russ
Poffenberger for pointing me in the right direction! Thanks to all
respondents!

Thanks,
Steve
