Hello,

We are working on a distributed teleducation and cscw tools. For
this we would like to use the pvm package. 

we want to make it quite flexible. We would like that the first
entering will starts the virtual machine (so the master pvmd).
After that other hosts may join, and so starting slaves pvmd.

If the first user wants to quit we would like to "create" a
new master pvmd in order to forget about the first user. Also
we would like to do this in order to improve the fail resistence
from crashes of the machine running the master pvmd

Thanks in advance

  Joaquin Salvachua.
