[mpich-discuss] mpich2 installation problem

[Pavan Balaji]

Ann,

Thanks for the detailed report.

MPD is not tested with different user names on different hosts. So, I'm 
not sure if it'll work correctly in that case.

Can you try mpiexec.hydra instead? That's not tested for that case 
either, but I think it might work. Hydra usage instructions are 
available here:
