Hello,

        Please don't worry about this for now, the problem stems from
        iptable rules. But, I still think putting usb0 into the reject
        list should disable the ip-address associated with it.

Regards,

    Avinash>         I tried out the same code and hostfile with two

    Avinash>         Next, I setup btl_tcp_if_exclude to lo,usb0 (on the

    Avinash> "ps aux | grep mpi" on the other I can see --hnp-uri being
    Avinash> set to the usb0's ip-address, which it should not, because
    Avinash> I have set usb0 to be exluded in the btl_tcp_if_exclude
    Avinash> list. So, what exactly am I doing wrong here?

    Avinash>         I read the otimization FAQ and saw how openmpi
    Avinash> builds the bipartite graphs for connection. But, as I said
    Avinash> before, eth0 cannot access usb0's ip and vice-versa, how
    Avinash> can I get rid of the usb0 ip-address showing up in
    Avinash> --hnp-uri, because this is the only difference between the
    Avinash> working and the non-working archs.
