For Fanglin I think the problem has to do with permissions. I get his
output if I run as myself, if as root I get:

libpvm [pid989] mksocs() connect: Connection refused
pvmd already running.
libpvm [pid989] mksocs() connect: Connection refused
libpvm [pid989] mksocs() connect: Connection refused
libpvm [pid989] mksocs() connect: Connection refused
libpvm [pid989]: pvm_mytid(): Can't contact local daemon

just like mohammad. sorry i don't know the solution as yet.

perhaps something to do with .rhosts ?
