Blocking all firewall connections is unchecked, but the Apple gui could provide adequate control. On reading a bit more on firewalls, second party guis like IceFloor may provide finer control, as suggested in:
http://www.question-defense.com/2012/03/22/osx-lion-firewall-process-name

Will try this next.

I run with my OS X firewall enabled and don't have this problem.

Check to ensure sys prefs -> Security -> Firewall -> Block all incoming 
connections is unchecked....?

Yes, it seems to begin to run with firewall off (gui), initiates the number of 
called mpirun processes, then terminates with no errors.

Have you tried just turning the firewall "off"? It would at least let you know 
if things work.

Ralph, thanks. I checked, and 'remote login' has been on.

It's frustrating, like pulling-out-hair time.

The procs attempt to open a socket back to mpirun for communication, so the firewall has to allow 
TCP communication. I usually turn on the "remote login" feature in the 
"sharing" area in preferences.

Hi All

Am trying to run a parallel molecular simulation from the directory containing 
the executable (using only available cores on the local cpus) on Mac Lion and 
keep getting an apparent firewall error that cannot be resolved. I am entering:

mpirun  -np 2 -e ./mpierr1 dock6.mpi -otherinput

and get transient (too quick to Allow) notification messages 'Do you want the application 
"orterun" to accept incoming network connections? Clicking Deny may limit....... The 
setting can be changed in the firewall pane......."

The mpirun message says:
--------------
Initializing MPI Routines...
Initializing MPI Routines...
--------------

I can specify orterun as a trusted app with "sudo 
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw -t /usr/local/bin/orterun". Before, 
and after allowing firewall access by orterun and dock6.mpi I get the following by 
viewing the /var/log/appfirewall.log:

Jan 24 00:48:45 Dans-Mac Firewall[23513]: orterun is listening from 
0.0.0.0:50722 proto=6

Jan 24 00:48:45 Dans-Mac Firewall[23513]: dock6.mpi is listening from 
0.0.0.0:1024 proto=6
Jan 24 00:48:45 Dans-Mac Firewall[23513]: dock6.mpi is listening from 
0.0.0.0:1025 proto=6

It appears that something is trying to start but cannot, and I dont know what 
else to try. Can anyone suggest how this might be resolved?

Thanks much for any input!
Dan
