Dear pvm user's,

     I am using PVM 3.3.0 since a couple of days. It works fine since my
     virtual machine is composed of one node (RS6K). I wanted to configure
     it with two nodes (2 RS6K) and got only one. Actually, the problem is that
     the demon pvmd3 can't be started on the remote machine. I just then looked
     into the PVM 3.3 manual to see if I had missed something. In fact, I didn't
     checked yet if the variable PVM_ROOT is set on the remote machine. It was not.
     The cause of the problem is that my login SHELL is the ksh and not csh and
     with ksh, rsh command doesn't execute a configuration file like csh does
     with a .cshrc file. So all the problem is there. Since I will never go back
     to csh and love to use PVM with rsh, how could I make PVM sets PVM_ROOT on
     remote machines automatically ?

Thanks,
Best regards,
