I have a hello world program that runs without prompting for password with plm_rsh_agent but not with orte_rsh_agent, I mean it runs but only after prompting for a password:
<path>/bin/mpirun --machinefile mpihosts.dat -np 16 -mca plm_rsh_agent /usr/bin/rsh ./test_setup Hello from process 2 Hello from process 5 Hello from process 12 Hello from process 6 Hello from process 0 Hello from process 4 Hello from process 3 Hello from process 7 Hello from process 14 Hello from process 8 Hello from process 1 Hello from process 9 Hello from process 10 Hello from process 11 Hello from process 13 Hello from process 15 <path>bin/mpirun --machinefile mpihosts.dat -np 16 -mca orte_rsh_agent /usr/bin/rsh./test_setup bloscel@f8312's password: I didn't notice anything about this in the FAQ except that orte_rsh_agent is newer than plm_rsh_agent. Did I miss some critical piece of information? Why do these options behave differently? Thanks
