Hi,
  for a class project I installed PVM on our 4 processor sun and was
using it just for myself.  Now the department would like it to be used
by everyone.

So here is my question,
  Can multiple users share the pvmd process?  How do I need to go
about setting it up.  Right now, when another user starts pvm, it
starts a new copy of pvmd for them.  I have found that things don't
work when there is more than 1 pvmd running on the machine.  I can't
seem to find anything in the pvm documentation either.  We are
currently using pvm3.3.3.  BTW:  is there a FAQ on 
administrating a PVM system?


TIA
