The "no route to host" problem should be a problem independent of whether you are using rsh or ssh. That is a problem with your name service. Either DNS, LDAP, NIS or /etc/hosts (depending on which name service you are using) is screwed up. You should get that error regardless of whether you use rsh, ssh, or any other command that needs to resolve hostnames to IP addresses, like ping, ftp, telnet, etc. It could be that one of your hosts has misconfigured host information. I'd start by comparing /etc/hosts on all 3 systems. What happens if you replace the hostnames in your MPI hosts file with their IP addresses? -- Prentice
