Hi everybody ! I have been working for a while with PVM 3.2.6 in a cluster
of RS6000. It works fine, but lately I noticed a problem: it seems that
the group server doesn't work well. Whenever I try to make a pvm_joingroup
it works for the master but not for any of the workers, so the pvm_barrier
doesn't work.
Here are the contents of the file pvml.uid:

[t80040000] [tc0001] libpvm [t
[t80040000] [tc0001] c0001
[t80040000] [tc0001] ]: 
[t80040000] [tc0001] gs_getgstid() failed to start group server
[t80040000] [tc0001] : 
[t80040000] [tc0001] No such file
[t80040000] [tc0001] 
[t80040000] [t100001] libpvm [t
[t80040000] [tc0001] worker 0 joingroup -14

the last sentence was written by me in a worker after the instruction
pvm_joingroup. The manual says: pvmd not responding ! but everything else
works fine.

Does anyone knows what's going on ? Thank you,
