Anybody on list have any idea why PVM fails to add hosts over a wireless link? I've now tried this over multiple distro version and at least one PVM update, and it just doesn't work. Works fine over a wire, fails on wireless, and as far as I know wire and wireless are both "identical" at the kernel interface layer so that any e.g. socket one might open is absolutely ecumenical about what the underlying hardware is (good old ISO/OSI layering, right?).
And yes, I'm well aware that from a latency/bw point of view this arrangement isn't going to be a speed demon or scale terribly well, but for testing PVM from a laptop or writing code from a laptop or just playing with PVM itself for fun or profit from a laptop it would certainly be lovely if it WORKED, however poorly as far as IPCs are concerned. Yup, tried it one last time. Locks it right up it does, have to kill pvm[d] by hand and hand-remove the lockfiles, just like I did two or three years ago... rgb -- Robert G.
