I am having problems adding new hosts in pvm.  When I try to add a host,
I get the error message "Can't start pvmd".  I've looked in the PVM
faq and have tried all of the suggestions.  The rsh seems to be working,
for when I enter "rsh hostname $PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd -s", I get the error
messages: slave_config: bad args, pvmbailout(0).  When I look in the 
pvm log file after trying unsuccessfully to add a host I get the error
messages: 

	pvmd@hostname: PVM_ROOT:
	pvmd@hostname: Undefined variable.
	pl_startup() pvmd@hostname: EOF
	startack() host hostname expected version

I do not know what these error messages mean.  I have tested the $PVM_ROOT
environment variable on all computers.  $PVM_ROOT is defined and I can 
start up pvm on each computer.

If anyone could provide some insight, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
