I tried to start pvmd on 9 machines (homogenous network, all HPPA,
HP-UX).
.rhosts exists; hostfile used to start ("pvmd hostfile &") :
 
ws50.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws51.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws52.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws53.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws54.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws55.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws56.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws57.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd
ws58.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de dx=~/pvm3/lib/pvmd

On the pvm console "mstat ws50.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de" produces an OK, but
"mstat w5x" results in "No such host"; adding the host with "add
ws5x.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de" says "Duplicate host". What the heck is wrong ?

I get the following error messages from the file /tmp/pvml.401 :

[t80000000] pvmd@ws52.ibmb.bau.tu-bs.de: [pvmd pid
[pvmd pid20328] mksocs() /tmp/pvmd.401 exists.  pvmd already running?
