Hello everybody,
I need help to run pvm on my machines.

I have 2 computers running Linux RedHat 5.0 (host:neuron)
and Slackware 3.2 (host:note), networked via PLIP interface.
I download pvm3.4.beta6, and compiled it
on both computer without any problems. But
when I run pvm on one computer and try to add
host another computer, pvm said 

[t70550@neuron PVM]$ pvm
pvm> add note
Console: exit handler called

and stop responding. I checked the FAQ and
confirmed that my environment variables are
set correctly. I inserted these lines into
my .bash_profile

PVM_ROOT=$HOME/PVM/pvm3
PVM_DPATH=$PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd
PATH=$PATH:$PVM_ROOT/lib
export PVM_ROOT PVM_DPATH PATH

I also made sure that I can do rsh/rlogin
between my machines. Here is some results
of the test.

[t70550@neuron t70550]$ rsh note "$PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd"
/tmp/00754aaa

[t70550@neuron t70550]$ rsh note "$PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd -s"
[pvmd pid789] 03/11 04:18:22 slave_config: bad args
[pvmd pid789] 03/11 04:18:22 pvmbailout(0)

Do you have any idea what is wrong with my system or
settings ?
