I recently installed PVM3.3 on HP's and experienced problems.

On AFS rsh/remsh do not work (here anyway) so need to use PVM's rexec()
command instead. This is done by setting up a hostfile, and including the
option "so=pw"(see p10 in manual).

For example, my hostfile looks like:

# Configuration file for PVM Virtual Machine
# D.J.Bancroft, Summer Student, CGU, MCC
cguhpb.cgu.mcc.ac.uk so=pw
cguhpa.cgu.mcc.ac.uk so=pw
cguhpc.cgu.mcc.ac.uk so=pw

# to be added manually
&cgusgi01.cgu.mcc.ac.uk dx=/usr/pvm3/lib

To launch PVM, I type "pvm -n hostfile".

Hope this helps,
Dave
