    Hi

    A client of mine have a NIS network with many enterprise server 3 +
    Solaris machines. he now bought a few machines with enterprise WS 3,
    installed them and everything works ok, except the fact that rlogin
    doesn't recognize netgroup in '.rhosts'.
    If I have in my '~/.rhosts' this entry:
    +machinename username
    I can connect without password from machiname without a problem. but if I
    have an entry like this:
    +@groupname username
    I can't connect without password from any of the machines in @groupname.
    the same file works without a problem on the enterprise server machines.

    'ypcat netgroup' displays the correct netgroups, '/etc/nsswitch' is
    exactly like all other machines, and nothing appears in the logs except
    'authentication failure' (or something like that).

    any ideas?

    Bye
