Hi,

I am trying to setup PVM 3.3.4 on a network of 1 SUN4 and 1 SUNMP (670MP
2 Procs).

Everything compiled OK. But when I run the pvm console ($PVM_ROOT/lib/pvm)
on either host and try to add the other one, I always get the message 
can't start pvmd.

However, when I quit the console, log into the other host and there run
the console, I get the answer 'pvmd already running', and when I do a 
'conf', I can see the local hostname and another one without a valid 
name (marked with a ?) and with unknown arch.

Can someone help?

Thank you very much.

PS: PVM_ROOT points to a directory shared by both computers. All paths
are correct since I can run pvmd by using rsh host pvmd
