yea, I did too!

Note that there is a new beta available which does rsh, though it doesn't
appear
to work with rshd from the MS Resource Kit.  Deadlock results from master
pvm
waiting for slave pvmd output which rshd seems to want to hold onto until
its child
process exits (which doesn't happen since slave pvmd doesn't!).

I found the manual start option invaluable for debugging this.
Set so=ms in the host file.  (see pg 30 in user guide for more info)

I have gotten remote pvmd's started (on NT3.51 and NT4.0) but have yet
to get a pvm process to run remotely (can run them local though).
