Hi Adrian, you guessed right: it is solaris.
. The user file space is shared and so ~/.openmpi is the same on all machines. . I cannot disable the "unwanted" interface because is is carrying all the other services such as NIS, NFS etc So the only way is to address the network by it IP number range. The question therefore is: can that be done? I have looked through the description of the MCAs and I fear that I could not find an indication for that.
