Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I am running 1.4.1  and PVM 3.4.beta7 with csh shell on two  5000/240
(downloaded the pkg friday 1/14/00).
I can get the master started fine with pvm ( or pvm hostfile ).
When I try get a slave started by adding a host this is what I get:

% pvm
pvm> add altair
0 successful
                    HOST     DTID
                  altair Can't start pvmd
pvm>

This is the output  from the pvml.767 log file:

[t80040000] 01/17 13:57:58 deneb (172.16.1.13:65517) NETBSD 3.4.beta7

[t80040000] 01/17 13:59:15 pvmbailout(0).

However when I do a remote start with rsh:
% rsh altair pvm
pvm> mstat altair
                  altair  ok
pvm>

PVM_ROOT and PVM_ARCH appear to be set correctly.

I'm brand new to pvm so I suspect this is a simple one, but I can't
figure out why the 'add' is not working.

Thanx
