[MPICH] How to avoid the inputs of account and password when using Windows as computing platforms?

[David Ashton]

If you start the job from the Windows machine then you can use "mpiexec
-register" to save a username and password.  If you start the job from the
Linux machine then you cannot save the password because we don't provide
data encryption on the Linux side.  If you have to start the job from the
Linux machine then you can use a password file by specifying "-pwdfile
filename" on the mpiexec command line and place the username on the first
line of the file and the password on the second line of the file.

Hi,
I run mpiexec from a linux machine (local host machine) to launch two 
processes. One is on this linux machine, and the other is on a Windows 
machine. I need to input the account and the password in order to activate 
the Windows process every single time. How can I avoid this procedure?
Thanks
