NIM works via some remote-execution facility, usually rsh. Find out what is blocking the rsh from the master on the client. Starting points are: /etc/inetd.conf, /.rhosts, /etc/hosts, etc.. If you have a switch/router/whatever between master and client make sure it doesn't block the communication (protocol filter or something such).
Things should work fine if you are able to issue the following on the master and get a valid answer:
"rsh <client> date"
Ah, one more: nim works with port 1059 if i remember correctly, have a look if this is usable.
I hope this helps.

Friend's,
I was playing around with NIM in my environment & had a quick question in mind which I didn't/couldn't find answer to, which is -- how to find the name of the NIM server sitting on the NIM client?
All leads to the answer would be much appreciated, many thanks!

RSHD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RSHD(8)
NAME
rshd -- remote shell server
SYNOPSIS
rshd [-aiklnvxPL] [-p port]
DESCRIPTION
rshd is the server for the rsh(1) program. It provides an authenticated remote command execution service. Supported options are:
-n, --no-keepalive
Disables keep-alive messages. Keep-alives are packets sent at certain intervals to make sure that the client is still there, even
when it doesn't send any data.
-k, --kerberos
Assume that clients connecting to this server will use some form of Kerberos authentication. See the EXAMPLES section for a sample
inetd.conf(5) configuration.
-x, --encrypt
For Kerberos 4 this means that the connections are encrypted. Kerberos 5 can negotiate encryption even without this option, but if
it's present rshd will deny unencrypted connections. This option implies -k.
-v, --vacuous
If the connecting client does not use any Kerberised authentication, print a message that complains about this fact, and exit. This
is helpful if you want to move away from old port-based authentication.
-P When using the AFS filesystem, users' authentication tokens are put in something called a PAG (Process Authentication Group). Multi-
ple processes can share a PAG, but normally each login session has its own PAG. This option disables the setpag() call, so all tokens
will be put in the default (uid-based) PAG, making it possible to share tokens between sessions. This is only useful in peculiar
environments, such as some batch systems.
-i, --no-inetd
The -i option will cause rshd to create a socket, instead of assuming that its stdin came from inetd(8). This is mostly useful for
debugging.
-p port, --port=port
Port to use with -i.
-a This flag is for backwards compatibility only.
-L This flag enables logging of connections to syslogd(8). This option is always on in this implementation.
FILES
/etc/hosts.equiv
~/.rhosts
EXAMPLES
The following can be used to enable Kerberised rsh in inetd.cond(5), while disabling non-Kerberised connections:
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd -v
kshell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd -k
ekshell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd -kx
SEE ALSO
rsh(1), iruserok(3)
HISTORY
The rshd command appeared in 4.2BSD.
AUTHORS
This implementation of rshd was written as part of the Heimdal Kerberos 5 implementation.
