[MPICH] mpich2: smpd phrase missing? - did you specify -smpdfile for smpd&mpixec ?

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Have you specified the "-smpdfile a_copy_of_my_smpd_file" option for smpd &
mpiexec ? The MPICH2 user's guide
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=d
ocs) contains information about the different options available with
mpiexec/smpd.

Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks for your advice.  Looking into "mpiexec -help2", I've tried the
options "-smpdfile a_copy_of_my_smpd_file" and "-noprompt" (separately) ...
without success.  I still get:

"Please specify an authentication passphrase for this smpd: Would you like
to save this passphrase in '...'?

I guess I must be overlooking something...

Best regards
