: If you are running pvm version 3, the correct command to use the hostfile is
:          
:    	" pvmd3 hostfile & "

: " pvm " will not read from any file, it will only start up the pvm daemon 
: on the local host. You can add other hosts to your virtual machine at the 
: pvm console prompt.

Actually " pvm " does read the hostfile as an argument. Sorry for the 
incorrect information.

Back to your problem, have you set up the .rhosts file? If you have, then 
check the /tmp directory of each machine, remove file that looked like 
pvmd.xxxx where xxxx is a number. 

Hope it helps.
