Hisham,
   Have you confirmed that you can ssh into all nodes without the use of 
a password?  If not, try...

ssh rania

   If it prompts you for a password, you are not quite ready to start 
running parallel jobs.  You must use the following (on your head node)...

ssh-keygen -t dsa

  When prompted for a password, leave it blank.  Then take the public 
key and add it to the list of authorized keys on your second node 
(rania).  This can be done using an scp to copy the file id_dsa.pub from 
your head node (should be in your home directory under .ssh) to your 
home directory on the compute node.  Then on your compute node...

touch .ssh/authorized_keys
cat id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 400 .ssh/authorized_keys

Hope this helps,

-Michael
