Hi everybody,
	I have a problem with the options that I put in the hostfile.

	When I used the option
bx=/chopin1/ktoutire/debugger

	to specify my debugger script location,  and then start the pvm daemon (by
typing pvm). It does'nt work properly. So when I checked the /tmp/pvml*** file
for my daemon, it says 

::::::::::::::
/tmp/pvml.15878
::::::::::::::
[pvmd pid23493] readhostfile() hostfile 1: bx=/chopin1/ktoutire/debugger: can't
gethostbyname
[pvmd pid23493] readhostfile() hostfile: 1 errors in hostfile
[t80040000] ready  3.3.10   Sat Nov 25 21:29:39 1995



I have no clue why this does not work. Any help is much appreciated
thanks
