Hmmm...well, things seem to work just fine for me: [rhc@odin ~/ompi-hwloc]$ mpirun -np 2 -bynode -mca plm rsh hostname odin090.cs.indiana.edu odin091.cs.indiana.edu
[rhc@odin mpi]$ mpirun -np 2 -bynode -mca plm rsh ./hello_nodename Hello, World, I am 1 of 2 on host odin091.cs.indiana.edu from app number 0 universe size 8 Hello, World, I am 0 of 2 on host odin090.cs.indiana.edu from app number 0 universe size 8 I'll get a fresh checkout and see if I can replicate from that...
