Sorry If I misunderstood but, Should the mpirun -np4 hostname command return
all the machines no the openmpi-default-hostfile?

My host file has just two ips, the first is the server and the second a
node.

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.3

It just return the name of my server 4 times.

The same happens with other commands like "ls" or just "dir".

I didn't understood yet why does the mpi run the process 4 times or x times.
It must be just one but spreading it on the other machines. Must not it??
