What IOS version has that command?  I've never seen anything other than
"clear ip ospf redistribution".  That would certainly fix the problem.  In a
lot of cases simply shutting down the interface for a bit and then
restarting it clears things up.  With the authentication issue, though, it
never seemed to work.
BTW, I just checked.  Clear ip ospf process is not available on a 2500 or
2600 but it is available on our 7513.  I've never noticed that since we
don't run OSPF at work.
Thanks,
John
