[mpich-discuss] mpd and login node

[Stephen Siegel]

I am running mpich2 with mpd on a small cluster.   We have a separate  
logon node which users will log on to, compile, and execute programs  
using mpiexec.   We want to configure mpd so that it will distribute  
the processes over the nodes of the cluster, excluding the logon  
node.   For some reason we could not figure out how to do this----the  
logon node itself ends up getting some of the processes.   Does anyone  
know how to do this?  Thanks.
