Hello,

I need to write a hoster for pvm and was looking at the hoster-example
supplied with the 3.3.9 distribution. But just compiling and starting crashes the
pvmd. Is the hoster example buggy or the interface as a whole erroneous?
I am using Solaris 2.4 (SUN4SOL2)

This is what happens:

Window 1                 Window 2

i14% pvm                 
pvm>         
 			i14% hoster
			*** PVM pvmd starter ***

pvm> add i13   
			{almost immediately: }
			libpvm [t40002]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
			libpvm [t40002]: pvm_recv(): Can't contact local daemon
			libpvm [t40002]: mxfer() mxinput bad return on pvmd sock
			libpvm [pid3727]: pvm_exit(): Can't contact local daemon

{and soon afterwrds: }
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() EOF on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_addhosts(): Can't contact local daemon
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() mxinput bad return on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_config(): Can't contact local daemon
pvm> libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() mxinput bad return on pvmd sock
libpvm [t40001]: pvm_nrecv(): Can't contact local daemon


Which is sort of funny to me: The very first thing the hoster should do after
receving the signal from the master-pvmd is print a message that it did receive
something. And this doesn't happen....

If anybody has any idea, I'd be very grateful...

Thanks
