Hello,

I have the following problem. I try to install program using pvm in 
a strange network and have the following problem:


(For information: the variables PVM_ROOT, PVM_DPATH, PVM_ARCH, PATH
are set correctly and the (home, pvm3.2)-directory is the same on all machines.)

I start pvm on one machine:

bach.138> pvm
pvm> conf
1 host, 1 data format
                    HOST     DTID     ARCH   SPEED
                    bach    40000     SUN4    1000

Then, when I try to add another machine:
add wagner
0 successful
                    HOST     DTID
                  wagner Can't start pvmd
pvm> conf
1 host, 1 data format
                    HOST     DTID     ARCH   SPEED
                    bach    40000     SUN4    1000
pvm> quit

pvmd still running.

When I look on machine wagner, I see that the pvm-Daemon has been started on
wagner:

wagner.2> ps -ux | grep pvm
maja     16679  7.7  0.3   32  196 p1 S    11:25   0:00 grep pvm
maja     16656  0.0  0.1   64   40 ?  S    11:22   0:00 /home/maja/pvm3/lib/SUN4
wagner.3>

Here are the Logfiles:

bach: 
[t80040000] ready   Fri Jul 29 11:22:13 1994
[t80000000] pl_startup() expected version
[t80040000] netinput() bogus pkt from 130.225.128.15:3605


wagner: 
[t800c0000] ready   Fri Jul 29 11:22:53 1994
[t800c0000] work() run = STARTUP, timed out waiting for master
[t800c0000] pvmbailout(0)


It seems, that the message about the correct start of pvmd on wagner 
is not transmitted correctly to the pvmd of bach.

Anyone an idea what the reason could be ?
