Hi, I'm a new usr on pvm. here I got a question needs help from someone.
the problem may be simple, that is, after start the console by typing"pvm"
when I type " conf" only 1 host which I was working on appear on the screen,
though all the machine names list in the hostfile. this may tell me
pvmd is not started up on all other machine and all the process are running in
one machine only. if I type " pvmd hostfile", it says "readhostfile() hostfile: 
can't read " and then just stop there. I have to use ^c to kill it. I've already 
tried to use the full name instead.

what should I do to this? Your kind help is much appreciated.
