In the remsh command shell PVM_ROOT is not defined
any more. Just try
env
remsh remotemachine env
and see the difference. (At least in my environment 
there is one.)
Usually (with a C-shell) you set this variable 
again in the .cshrc file...

But I think I found a solution by myself!
Changing the RSHCOMMAND in the conf/HPPA.def, I'll
use a shell script instead of the original command.
There I can set up the variables. Hope it works.

But thank you for the response anyways

Bye
