from memory, several thing may be ill:

the mapping in /etc/hosts needs to be mentioned on both machines for
rexec to work -- B must appear in A's /etc/hosts, and A in B's;

remote home directory may not be known -- an environment variable (or better
still an 'ingsetenv' setting) called INGRESNET{HOST} (or some
such thing) should contain the remote host's ingres account's $HOME.
Alternatively, make sure the login shell for the remote account
is csh, and the rexec()ing program will use ~ingres (unless a bug in rexecd
forces use of /bin/sh).

there should be a test program distributed, which diagnoses TCP problems: it's
called n4test or some such -- look at ~ingres/bin/*test* -- and beware of a 
bug in the version I've seen, in which it only works if you 'sh -x' it!!!
