[MPICH] MPICH2 on WinXP-Pro cluster

[PETER RAETH]

David,

The script is exactly what I did with the earlier and latest version. The 
latest version is what is now installed. However, when I tried it with the 
earlier version the account mess was still in place.

What I think happened is that the account being wrongly set up by WinXP-Pro 
(one name in some places, another name in others) is what caused the 
problem.

The script did not work at all, with either version, until the account mess 
was cleared up.

Also to be said is that I turned off the firewall and the anti-virus/worm 
software during all attempts. That worked since there are no outside 
connections when the system is operating as a network/cluster. As you said 
earlier, the firewall can be told to allow specific users.


Best,

Peter.
