I put the fileset together in a compressed tar file, available from
me10.lbl.gov (128.3.128.110), as ~ftp/hp-ux/USRCONTRB_300.tar.Z.

   | Our hosts.equiv has +@our_cluster_groups in it, allowing anyone to copy
   | a file to any other machine using the syntax:
   |
   | rcp host.username:filename filename
   |
   | However, this command now fails with HP-UX 7.0 if Yellow Pages is running

Just for your info,

     <host>.<user>:<fname>  is a 4.2BSD implementation
     <user>@<host>:<fname>  is a 4.3BSD change 

     The reason for the change is because 1) BIND (name services) 
     was implemented and thus <host>.<user> looks like <hostname>.<domain>,
     2) the new method is more consistent with user/host addressing methods.
