Hi:
I'm getting this seemingly trivial-to-solve error from tm_connect
on spawning a slave process on a certain HPPA machine, which then
proceeds to do no work.  Interestingly, I can remotely run the
master on that machine along with the slave (plus other slaves
on other machines) and PVM works just fine.

From the source I deduce that PVM is trying to open an authentication
file on the stubborn machine.  I've checked /usr/tmp and /tmp for
correct permissions, does PVM try to write/open files anywhere else?

I am running on 3 HPPA machines; only the one is stubborn.  What HP
configuration could be different on that one?  The /usr/adm/inetd.sec
seems okay.

Thanking you in advance for any help,

Ron White
