hello Sun Managers.
Thanks to all for the quick replies. In deed it was the .rhosts
problem. I was using an alias for the local machine on YYY. The .rhosts
would not work correctly with aliases for the
hostnames. I replaced the entry with the complete name of XXX listed
in the /etc/hosts table of YYY.
Thanks to the following people.

Thanks again,
Venu.
