MPI was successfully installed on 3 comps today (Thanks to Krishna for giving his comp for this project). We wrote down same passwords in the .mpd.conf files on the 3 nodes (TMI I know). We changed the ssh too and our firewall settings. Running the client-server pairs on two computers worked successfully. However, we encountered problems trying to make a ring running mpdboot on ssh on the 2 other nodes from the same comp. Right now we attribute this problem to ssh sessions requiring passwords. After checking out the links [1] and [2] we hope to get the thing fixed tomorrow using silent logins.
