Hi,

I am using PVM on a network of SUN sparc-stations. Sometimes when I am
adding host using 

    pvm> add host 

command, I get the follwing error message though a pvmd  has been
successfully started at the host. 

    libpvm[t4001]: pvm_addhosts ():Pvmd system error

Consequently, conf does not show the added host. If I try adding the
same host again, it says "duplicate host". That means it recognizes
that pvmd is running at the other end. Does anybody have any idea ? 
Note that this does not occur all the time. Sometimes hosts are added
successfully. 

Thanks,
Vinay
