I've been having similar issues with brand new FC5/6 and RHEL5 machines,
but our FC4/RHEL4 machines are just fine. On the FC5/6 RHEL5 machines,
I can get things to run as root. There must be some ACL or security
setting issue that's enabled by default on the newer distros. If I
figure it out this weekend, I'll let you know. If anyone else knows the
solution, please post to the list.

I've been trying to get OpenMPI working on two of the computers at a
lab I help administer, and I'm running into a rather large issue. When
running anything using mpirun as a normal user, I get the following
output:
$ mpirun --no-daemonize --host
localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost
/workspace/bronke/mpi/hello
mpirun noticed that job rank 0 with PID 0 on node "localhost" exited
on signal 13.

[trixie:18104] The daemon received a signal 13.

However, running the same exact command line as root works fine:
$ sudo mpirun --no-daemonize --host
localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost
/workspace/bronke/mpi/hello

I've looked up signal 13, and have found that it is apparently
SIGPIPE; I also found a thread on the LAM-MPI site:
http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/2004/08/8486.php
However, this thread seems to indicate that the problem would be in
the application, (/workspace/bronke/mpi/hello in this case) but there
are no pipes in use in this app, and the fact that it works as
expected as root doesn't seem to fit either. I have tried running
mpirun with --verbose and it doesn't show any more output than without
it, so I've run into a sort of dead-end on this issue. Does anyone
know of any way I can figure out what's going wrong or how I can fix
it?
Thanks!
