Subject: 7.0 + Yellow Page + rcp BUG / monitor for 7.0 ?

I've found a bug with Yellow Pages + HP-UX 7.0 (Series 300) + the rcp command.
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
with the error 'rcmd: host.username: Unknown host'. Strangely, the command
DOES work if you use rcp host:filename filename (i.e. omit the username).

Fix:

Copy rcp from an HP-UX 6.5 backup - it works perfectly with or without the
username in the command.

On a different tack:

Having upgraded to HP-UX 7.0, we are desperately in need of a version of
monitor for 7.0. Can someone please tell me (or post to this group)
where I can get monitor for 7.0 on the Series 300 (e.g. anonymous ftp) ?
