Subject: Can't start pvmd when adding hosts to the Virtual Machine



 I have a problem in adding a remote host which is:
 
 When I add a remote host to the Virtual Machine on the 'pvm' console, i.e,
 	pvm> add watmims,  
 
 then the message says 'watmims Can't start pvmd' and the log file has the
 following messages.

 [t80040000] ready 3.3.9  Thu----
 [t80000000] pl_startup() pvmd@watmims: EOF
 [t80040000] startack() host watmims expected version
 [t80040000] dm_halt() from (watems), halting ...
 [t80040000] work() pvmd halting
 [t80040000] pvmbailout(0)

 After that, I tried the following command by hand on the master host:
 	rsh watmims $PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd -s
 then, I got
 	[pvmd pid20271] slave_config: bad args
 	[pvmd pid20271] pvmbailout(0).
 
 I am using Bourne shell and PVM is also installed in the remote
 host(watmims). Also, I think the environmental variables(PVM_ROOT and PVM_DPATH) and
 are properly set.
 
 How can I fix it to add the remote host?
 Any suggestion will be appreciated.
 Thank you very much for your help.
