Hello,

 I'm having problems adding hosts with different login, using the
 lo= and so=pw options in the hostfile. When I run pvm hostfile, the
 pvm does not prompt for passwd, just sits there.
 I tried invoking pvmd3 directly from the architecture subdirectory,
 for example ../SUNMP/pvmd3 hostfile and is sort of works, it prompts
 for a password but than it appears to hang, I don't get the pvm> prompt.
 I'm able to run rsh -l on that remote host, so that't probably not the 
 problem. Could it be the pvm script ?
 Any help greatly appreciated.

 Derek.
