[daip] AIPS does not load on networked machines

[Matthew John Merlo]

Hello

I am attempting to host AIPS off a Linux machine to five of Linux
machines.  I have already specified the other machines as host and set up
data areas for them.  The AIPS root directory, /usr/AIPS, is hosted via a
NFS network to the other machines.  When I try to run aips on any of the
other machines I get the following output:

START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the
START_AIPS:  - system name , AIPS type

START_AIPS: User data area assignments:
DADEVS.PL: This program is untested under Perl version 5.010
  (Using global default file /usr/AIPS/DA00/DADEVS.LIST for DADEVS.PL)
   Disk 1 (1) is /data/aips/YODA_1

Tape assignments:
   Tape 1 is REMOTE
   Tape 2 is REMOTE

START_AIPS: I am GUESSING you are at a workstation called yoda
START_AIPS:  - but have chosen to run the TV locally on YODA
START_AIPS: Starting TV servers on yoda asynchronously

     max grey level 8191 in 16 grey-scale memories
UNIXSERVERS: Start graphics server TKSRV1 on yoda, display :0.0
UNIXSERVERS: Start message server MSSRV1 on yoda, display :0.0

 at this point the terminal freezes and must by closed and restarted.  If
I run aips on the machine where it was installed, it gives the following
output:

START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the

after pressing enter, AIPS asks for the user number and works fine.  I
have check the permissions on all the files and they are set so the other
computers have access to the files.  I have know idea why the two outputs
are different and why AIPS does not run on the other machines.  Any help
would be appreciated.
