If you can't figure out the networking issue, have you put server A's IP address in the .rhost on server B?

Yes entries are thre in .rhost on both server

abc and logged in as user xyz, there should be an entry in
/.rhosts, which matches any one of the below.

It doesn't really solve it, it just lets the user get his job done. ;-)
There is some type of nslookup, DNS problem or issue with /etc/nsswitch.conf?
