Is there a standard way in PVM for multiple users to
use a single virtual machine, i.e. so there is only
one PVM daemon per machine no matter how many users
access it.  I have seen ideas involving setting up
the .rhosts file on one user's account (who would 
own the daemon process) so that all other users
can rsh to that account and run their programs from
it.  This would seem to be an unacceptable
security risk to that user.  Are there other ways
of doing this?

Thanks for your help :)
