Kind Reuti,

Thanks for your quick reply!


I'm afraid I didn't set a machinefile...that may be the problem: I'm fairly new to MPI and SSH and I'm still quite confused even after reading some tutorials.

My etc/hosts contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.1.1 modelstation (modelstation is the machine name I was mentioning in the previous mail)

if I type hostname the terminal returns modelstation

Cheers

I'm currently having this issue with mpirun: I want to launch a program only on the cores of the local machine, but every time I run an mpi program it says that the host 127.0.0.1 <local_machine_name> with it's associated key is unkown and asks me if I want to add it to the list of ssh known hosts.

By chowing/chmodding the .ssh file I was able to permanently add this "host" to the list of known hosts, but my problem is that every program that I try to run ask me to insert a password (the actual local user password) n times where n is equal to the -np parameter (i.e.: if I run the program on 8 cores I receive 8 successive password pronts).

If I insert the password everything runs fine, but it's quite annoying and I wish to bypass such step: is there a way to have mpirun memorize the password? Or make him understand that the 8 nodes are actually 8 cores on the local machine and not 8 different hosts?

Which hostname do you specify in your machinefile?
Which hostnames are set in /etc/hosts for your local machine?
What is the output of `hostname`? Does it match the one in the machinefile?

For systemd there is a new command `hostnamectl --static set-hostname [NAME]` to set it.
