[mpich-discuss] mpdboot for ssh with password - a suggestion

[Pavan Balaji]

You need to setup passwordless ssh on your system, as described in the 
README. You can google for "passwordless ssh" to figure out how to do that.

Btw, there's not going to be a next version of MPD -- in the MPICH2 
1.3.x series, we have moved to a new process manager called Hydra. But 
that still requires a passwordless ssh.
