I'm afraid, your information is insufficiant to help you.
How did you do it ? Did you manually start one program on each host and time
it. Do you have a program that spawns siblings on all available hosts ?
Did you have a pvm console running that you were using (ps, conf, ...) ?
Did you tell pvm to spawn 6 tasks ?
