[mpich-discuss] open a server on particular port

[Eugene N]

Hello

I am trying to start an mpi server program on a particular port (so that
other programs might connect later).
I am using MPI_Info to setport  key-value, like this

        MPI_Info info;
if(MPI_SUCCESS!=MPI_Info_create(&info))
printf("err");
...
MPI_Info_set(info,"port","11555");
...

if(MPI_SUCCESS!=MPI_Open_port(info, port_name))
printf("err");
        ...
        MPI_Info_get(info,"port",0,buf1,&len);
printf("%s\n",buf);
           ...
        printf("server available at %s\n",port_name);

And server opens a random port every time, perhaps i am doing something
wrong (i must be missing something). :

server available at
tag#0$description#192.168.1.4$port#60184$ifname#192.168.1.4$

Any advice is greatly welcome!

Eugene
