Hi,

I am having some difficulties with starting PVM on some
SUN4 machines. I cannot start communicationg PVM daemons 
on multiple machines. It seems that the installation is
OK because it is starting OK with another guy in our lab.
But we could not find any way to have it running for me.

Here is some more details of the problems and failed trials: 
	o I have the same login address on thses machines.
	o All the machines are in the .rhosts file.
	o Tried 'pvm hostfile', didnot work.
	o Tried clean start: after halting all pvm's,
	  deleting all /tmp/pvm* files.
	o Tried to 'add' host from console. Here is the
	  error messages. The console was started on eros,
	  and then tried to add ale, stout and lager.

Does anyone have similar problems? Any idea or suggestion will be
very helpful. Thanks very much.
